WASHINGTON, April 20 (Reuters) - The United States and Mexico will hold their first formal bilateral round of negotiations to revamp the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement in the week of May 25 in Mexico City, the U.S. Trade Representative's office said on Monday.
The announcement came after meetings in Mexico City between U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Mexican Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
"Ambassador Greer and Secretary Ebrard directed their teams to advance important technical discussions this week on economic security and complementary trade actions, strengthened rules of origin for key industrial goods, collaboration on critical minerals, and to resolve outstanding bilateral trade irritants," USTR said in a statement.
