Mexico’s president said Monday her country is looking for ways to import more from the United States, as the two countries continue to negotiate their trade deal.
After a phone call with President Donald Trump last week, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum told reporters her government is looking for ways to reduce the United States’ trade deficit with Mexico.
“We’re looking at what can be done to, instead of buying from other countries in the world, buy from the United States,” Sheinbaum said.
Trump has long complained of imbalances of exports and imports between the United States and other countries. Mexico tends to be an export-heavy economy, meaning it generally exports more goods than it imports.
Mexico is in the process of negotiating the USMCA trade deal that binds the United States, Mexico and Canada. Negotiations between Canada and the United States have stalled as those two countries engage in a trade war.
