According to experts, the United States’ withdrawal from the free trade agreement with Mexico and Canada would be counterproductive for President Donald Trump, particularly in an environment marked by rising prices due to persistent inflation.

00:25The revision of the free trade agreement between Mexico, the United States and Canada should not mean the loss of sovereignty in the face of possible tariff pressures from Donald Trump, according to this expert.
00:40And it will be very dangerous to reach the UNSCA review in June with this issue on result.
00:50It is essential that the tariff issue be resolved first and then, yes, move on to the UNSCA itself because otherwise everything will start to get mixed up and then President Trump may ask you for a lot of things and clearly Mexico will come out or end up very disadvantaged.
01:06Trump's comments regarding the alleged irrelevance of the USMCA are rhetorical.

02:33Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum highlighted in her regular press conference that the economic integration generated by the USMCA is creating jobs on both sides of the border.
02:41We believe that it is very beneficial for the United States because for every job created here in connection with this trade integration, there is a study that says that three jobs were created in the United States.
