Marcelo Ebrard: Marcelo Ebrard, Mexico's Economy Secretary, received Canada's recommendation and has indicated Mexico's support for the 16-year extension of the USMCA.

Canada: Canada also called for a 16-year extension of the USMCA and is participating in discussions, though formal negotiations with the United States have not yet begun. It faces ongoing tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos, and lumber, and its trade policies are under scrutiny.

Marcelo Ebrard: Marcelo Ebrard, Mexico's economy minister, confirmed the impasse regarding the USMCA extension and expressed Mexico's willingness to resolve differences with the United States and Canada, particularly concerning the automotive industry.

Canada: Canada is excluded from bilateral talks with Mexico and hit with new 50% tariffs, weakening its leverage and straining trade relations.

Marcelo Ebrard: Mexico's Economy Minister Ebrard participated in talks and reported advances on steel, aluminum, and import substitution.

Canada: Canada faced a 10% tariff but issued a muted response, focusing on constructive engagement amid separate 50% tariff threats.

Marcelo Ebrard: Mexico's Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said the effective tariff rate remains unchanged.
