U.S. and Mexico Conclude First Bilateral Round of USMCA Review. (Carney & Canada is left out). 1/2

May 30, 2026 | Sundance |

Remember last weekend when we outlinedhow the sudden sense of urgency from Europe toward a trade agreement with Mexico?that agreement had little to do with purchasing row crops from Mexico,and everything to do with what Europe needs as access to the United States{Go Deep}.

The language being used by the United States trade office is specific. [SEE HERE] The first bilateral round of negotiations between the United States and Mexico for the USMCA free trade agreement has concluded. (Emphasis mine)

PRESS RELEASE – “MEXICO CITY — “Today, the United States and Mexico concluded the first bilateral round related to the Joint Review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement(USMCA).

The United States concluded discussions with thegoals of reducing the trade deficit with Mexico and strengthening American supply chains. During this first round, negotiators discussed priority issues related toautomotive rules of origin, steel and aluminum, and economic security.

The United States and Mexico recognize theimportance of advancing cooperation to enhance regulatory compatibility to strengthen sectors, including medical devices, pharmaceuticals, cosmetic products, and others.

We will continue advancing these discussions on June 16-17 in Washington, D.C.,in addition to agricultureand a level playing field. Thethird roundwill be held during the week of July 20 in Mexico City.

The United States continues to emphasize the importance ofensuring the Agreement benefits U.S. manufacturers, farmers, ranchers, workers, service suppliers, and businesses of all sizes, and of addressing free-riding from third countries.” (source)

Currently, European automakers have billions invested in Mexican auto plants. Much of thecomponent material for those vehicles comes from Europe for assembly in Mexico. That was the primary focus of the Europeans in their trade agreement with Mexico.

According to information coming from within the U.S-Mexico bilateral discussion, President Trump andUSTR Greer are now changing the USMCA trade rules to require 50% of all automobiles be from American manufacturing. [The previous USMCA agreement was 70% from North America.]

When you consider EU and Asia component use in North American autos, and when youconsider this is a bilateraldiscussion between only two nations, there is abig difference between 50% of the vehicle made in America(bilateral equity) and 70% of the vehicle made in North America (old trilateral FTA).

If European auto giantBMW is building cars in Mexico, in order tosell them into the U.S. market 50% of the vehicle must be components from the USA.

Then shift thisbaseline dynamic toward a bilateral with Canada, and again if Asia auto giant Toyota wants to build cars in Canada, then 50% of the vehicle must come from the USA.

Even the use of thestatistic “fifty percent” or “half” implies equity by consequence; abilateral agreement between two partieswhere both parties benefit. What I am emphasizing is the core baseline for the bilateral itself predicts theoutcome of the next phase, another bilateral.

Once the U.S-Mexico bilateral is completed,Trump and Greer will then turn to Canada to begin another bilateral. This isthe part that Canada is not prepared for – at all.

Canada needs the granular stuff inside a trilateral trade agreement that permits the exploit of a one-third division. Take that foundational block out of the USMCA (CUSMA) andturn it into a two-way bilateral deal, and there’s no room for maneuvering.

A sector-by-sector agreement amid a group,becomes an agreement between just you and me. That’s an entirely different agreement.

(Canada is left out and Carney has to tell Canada he lost a trade agreement with the US.)

Trudeau was right the USA, will own Canada if the country is to survive.

Spencer Pratt schools NBC reporter who wants to know if he’s running for LA Mayor just to promote his “brand."

Reporter: “Man, your brand is hotter than ever!"

Pratt initially talks about getting in the race after losing everything in the fires.

But then he gets to the real-life risk his decision carries — safety concerns for him and his family:

“Running for mayor is not fun. I have to have 24 hour security with the amount of death threats. My kid now has a security next to him when he goes in the ocean, because psychos come to the beach."

"This is not fun fighting DSA socialists in the city of L.A. So anybody that really is paying attention, politics is not fun."

"And now I'm deep in politics fighting a machine that is against the truth."

They keep trying to question his motives. It’s not working

On CNN, host Abby Phillip teed up the now-standard left framing on ICE enforcement:

“𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬, 𝘐𝘊𝘌 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘴? 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘭. 𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯, 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦.”
