There have been two recent relevant events related to Mexican foreign trade. On the one hand, from July 11 to 15, 2022, Mexico and the United Kingdom held the first round of negotiations on the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) of both countries.

On the other hand, on July 20, 2022, the United States and Canada each requested dispute settlement consultations with Mexico under the Mexico-U.S.-Canada Agreement (USMCA) regarding Mexico’s energy policies, arguing that certain actions taken by Mexico were inconsistent with its commitments under the USMCA.
