Energy, trade, and the USMCA: key drivers for new investment
As part of the working agenda, both parties agreed to maintain coordination on issues deemed strategic for fostering new investment, including energy availability, customs operations, and trade facilitation.
These factors have become pivotal to the establishment and expansion of manufacturing companies, the strengthening of supply chains, and North American competitiveness.
