No Need for New Bilateral Trade Deal, Says Mexico's President
Claudia Sheinbaum

In a recent press conference, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed speculation regarding a new bilateral trade agreement with Canada. She clarified that such a deal is not necessary, given the current comprehensive trade agreement among the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Her comments came after what she described as a 'very good' meeting with key Canadian government ministers. Sheinbaum emphasized that the existing trade framework effectively supports the economic relationships between the three nations.

The emphasis on maintaining the status quo underscores the strong ties among the North American countries under the existing trade deal, dismissing the need for individual pacts.
