Don’t draw attention to yourself; however, please do bring your favorite beverage, relax and watch what no one else will admit is happening. The 2026 operation to exit the USMCA is officially underway.
While the Snow Mexicans are gnashing their teeth talking about feelings and various shiny things, United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer is meeting today with Mexican Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard to strategize the best approach for a U.S-Mexican bilateral free trade agreement.
