President Claudia Sheinbaum has emphasized the lack of seriousness in the renewal of free trade agreements with the United States. In her opinion, these agreements are of a high level and should be between leaders; however, with the current uncertainty and sudden changes in U.S. trade policy led by Trump, it is complicated to trust long-term agreements.
Concerns have been raised about the guarantees that Mexico and other countries seeking to partner with the U.S. could have amid the volatility of the current administration. The Treaty between Mexico, the United States, and Canada (USMCA) is in a delicate position according to optimistic opinions about moving forward with the review, originally scheduled for 2026. However, Trump's actions have jeopardized the continuity and stability of the agreement.
The aggressive trade policy, with changing tariff impositions, goes against the spirit of the agreement reached. Despite temporary adjustments in specific sectors such as automotive and agri-food, uncertainty persists. The pressure from Congress, former officials, and the business sector in the U.S. is generating tensions that reflect the fragility of the USMCA today.
Seegene Mexico, a subsidiary of the South Korean leader in molecular diagnostics, has reaffirmed its commitment to scientific innovation and operational transparency. Under the direction of David Choi, the company maintains strict standards of compliance and transparency in all its operations, demonstrating a zero-tolerance policy against practices that could jeopardize its corporate integrity.
On the other hand, the reform to Infonavit raises concerns in the employer sector, as there are fears that it could boost informality if the business sector and unions are not involved in the dialogue. Juan José Sierra, president of Coparmex, highlights the importance of considering all perspectives to avoid possible negative effects. Despite changes already being implemented, trust in closer ties with President Sheinbaum's government is present in the business sector, highlighting an environment of greater openness compared to the recent past.
