Mexico's Economy Ministry has indicated a low likelihood of the country withdrawing from the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), even though a formal request for its renewal has not been submitted. This statement comes amid ongoing discussions and a degree of uncertainty regarding the future of the trade pact.

The ministry acknowledged that the treaty's continuation is not guaranteed and that the process for its renewal or review is complex. However, officials stressed that dialogue with the United States and Canada remains active, aiming to ensure stability and predictability for North American trade.

The USMCA, which replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), is a cornerstone of economic relations between the three countries. Its potential renegotiation or review periods present a significant point of attention for businesses and governments across the continent.
