The United States and Mexico are starting talks this week as the two countries and Canada review the trade pact that binds them.
Mexico is aiming to keep the USMCA trade deal in place as it also looks to end new tariffs on certain goods not covered by the treaty.
The bilateral talks between the U.S. and Mexico come ahead of the six-year anniversary of that trade pact this summer. The treaty is up for its first six-year review after going into place under the first Trump administration.
President Donald Trump has suggested the United States could leave or dramatically change the treaty, which his own administration negotiated to replace NAFTA.
