Heading towards the review of the Treaty with the United States and Canada (T-MEC), Mexico will demonstrate to Donald Trump, US president-elect, and Justin Trudeau, Canadian prime minister, that our country is not the gateway for products from from China reach North America, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo said this Friday.
The president said that her government is preparing a plan for the substitution of Chinese imports, since there is an imbalance in the Mexican trade balance with the Asian giant, but she affirmed that this is a project that is not related to the accusations of Trump and officials. Canadians that Chinese goods are entering their countries through Mexico, and described these assertions as false.
“We are very interested in the treaty with the United States and in the meetings we have at the time with Canada and with President Trump we are going to demonstrate how false this idea is that products coming from China are entering through Mexico” , declared Sheinbaum Pardo when asked about the issue in her daily press conference at the National Palace.
He reiterated that before the next review of the T-MEC, his government will seek to ensure that it is maintained and that it continues to be a trilateral agreement.
Questioned about statements by Justin Trudeau, who indicated that his country is inclined to preserve the trilateral nature of the T-MEC, but that he does not rule out the possibility of leaving Mexico out, the president pointed out that Trudeau knows that the Mexican decision is to continue in the treaty.
“The treaty is very good for the three countries, for all three, it is very good for Canada, it is very good for the United States and it is very good for Mexico.”
