*Mexico’s leading business lobby group, Confederación Patronal de la República Mexicana (Coparmex), has sent a delegation to Washington D.C. aimed at boosting ties between Mexico and the US, and positioning the Mexican business sector as a “key actor in the revision of the USMCA [US-Mexico-Canada Agreement] trade accord ahead of 2026”. A statement released by Coparmex marking the visit, which took place from 5-7 May and was headed up by its president Juan José Sierra Álvarez, called for “institutional dialogue” as a basis for revising USMCA ahead of 2026.
