On Monday, September 28, the United States and Mexico resume trade talks in Washington regarding tariffs on Mexican steel, aluminum, and cars. These talks are the fourth round of review for the USMCA, the trade pact governing most US-Mexico commerce. Mexico is seeking tariff relief for its steel, aluminum, and car industries, as well as smoother treatment for goods that fail the agreement's origin rules.
Both sides cited progress in the third round in Mexico City in July, although the talks were postponed after a phone call between President Trump and President Sheinbaum on September 16. The USMCA is up for review, and a broader tariff hike could reach up to 30 percent if no deal is reached by the end of the round on Tuesday. The peso is likely to be affected by the outcome, as a deal with real tariff relief tends to support the currency, while a collapsed round could weaken it.
Prices for cars, appliances, and construction materials may also be impacted by the tariffs, with relief potentially dampening pressure on these costs. The success of the round depends on ratification steps on both sides and the specifics of the agreement, which will be crucial in determining its impact on expats' daily lives.
