In parallel, the Secretariat of Labor and Social Welfare maintains union dialogues, and a microsite for the USMCA was launched where anyone interested can submit comments or proposals. Through this exercise, the Ministry of Economy stated that Mexico is moving in an orderly and transparent manner towards the agreement's review, reinforcing its commitment to promote more equitable conditions for national companies and strengthen regional integration. According to Ebrard, the objective is clear: Mexico's position on the USMCA must reflect the country's realities and needs in each state and each productive sector. Emerging topics such as the circular economy, creative industries, and social economy were also addressed, aiming to reflect the country's economic diversity. All this information will be analyzed and converted into a document to be delivered to the President of Mexico and the Senate in January 2026. Ebrard highlighted that this process aims to give a voice to different sectors and regions so that Mexico's position for the USMCA review is comprehensive and representative. This report will serve as the basis for the national position that Mexico will take to the treaty review. The tables covered sectors from automotive, agribusiness, energy, and mining to industries such as aerospace, chemical, pharmaceutical, plastics, textiles, electronics, and tourism. According to the head of the department, Marcelo Ebrard, these meetings will allow for the construction of a solid and fair position for Mexico before negotiations with the United States and Canada. During October, 30 sectoral and 32 state tables were held with the participation of business representatives and local authorities. "An open process to give an opinion on the USMCA has never been done before," Ebrard emphasized during the state consultation in Mexico City. Replacing the USMCA with bilateral agreements turns everything upside down at the National Palace. In addition to the in-person tables, the Secretariat disseminated a questionnaire to expand the participation of the private sector. By November 5, more than two thousand responses from the state consultations and about 500 from the different economic sectors had been received. All this information will be analyzed and converted into a document that will be delivered to the President of Mexico and the Senate in January 2026. In these spaces, the main concerns and proposals from the productive sectors on foreign trade, competitiveness, and economic development were collected. The Ministry of Economy concluded the consultation tables for the 2026 USMCA review, a process it described as "unprecedented" in its scope and participation.
