#USMCA/#TMEC includes both critical gains and significant challenges for energy, agriculture, the auto industry, and other key sectors, particularly around labor and environmental standards. Per @CGBSenado Director @Chelminsky, #USMCA "allows us to claim clear rules for investment into Mexico, in addition to being an opportunity for the country to achieve better development, but issues around labor, steel, and aluminum must be worked on."
