Mexico refuses USMCA deal that would compromise sovereignty; separate tariff talks continue

Mexican President Sheinbaum stated Mexico will not sign any USMCA agreement that affects national sovereignty, as the US and Mexico negotiate separately on tariffs and trade barriers. This marks a firm red line in bilateral trade talks, potentially complicating the renegotiation of the USMCA framework. The outcome is uncertain, but a breakdown could escalate trade tensions between the two countries.
