A consultation with leaders of key industries in Mexico found that the business community there would prefer to avoid a major overhaul of the treaty that governs trade between their country and the United States.
Mexican business leaders across sectors like agriculture, construction and tourism told their government that the USMCA trade deal between the United States, Mexico and Canada benefits them.
This comes ahead of an upcoming review of that treaty, which President Donald Trump has publicly considered terminating. His first administration negotiated the pact to replace NAFTA.
In Mexico, more than 80% of the business leaders surveyed had a favorable view of the treaty. The agreement keeps most of the goods that flow between the U.S., Mexico and Canada tariff free.
Mexico and the United States are set to begin formal trade talks about the future of the treaty next week.
