00:02Mexico and the United States are racing to reach an interim bilateral trade deal before
00:07the November 3rd midterm elections as negotiations with Canada remain stalled, according to Reuters.
00:13The talks could give Mexico relief from some U.S. tariffs while addressing U.S. demands
00:18on automotive content and Chinese investment. A major hurdle is Section 232 tariffs, which
00:24impose 50% duties on Mexican steel and aluminum and 25% tariffs on vehicles. Automakers believe
00:32Washington could offer Mexico a 15% vehicle tariff with additional reductions for U.S. content,
00:38potentially lowering the effective rate to around 7%. Mexico is expected to consider ways to increase
