The U.S. and Mexico trade negotiators on Friday concluded their first bilateral negotiating round to revise the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade, discussing automotive rules of origin, steel and aluminum trade and economic ⁠security, the U.S. Trade Representative's office said.

"The United States concluded discussions with the goals of reducing the trade deficit with Mexico and strengthening American supply chains," USTR said in a statement.

The trade agency ⁠said that the two sides will continue to advance their discussions on June 16-17 in Washington, D.C., ⁠in talks covering agriculture and "a level playing field." A third round is ⁠scheduled for the week of July 20 in Mexico City, ⁠but so far the talks exclude USMCA partner Canada.
