In brief: Mexico
* Jesús Seade, who has been appointed by Mexico’s President-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador as his future government’s chief negotiator of the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta), has confirmed that he has been invited to attend the next Nafta renegotiation round between Mexico, Canada, and the US, scheduled to start in Washington DC on 26 July. Seade’s announcement came after López Obrador revealed that he has sent a letter to US President Donald Trump asking him to expedite the Nafta renegotiations so that these can be concluded this year and calling for his incoming government, due to assume office in December, to be allowed to take part in the negotiations. Seade said that reaching a favourable new Nafta agreement is a “high priority” for the incoming López Obrador administration and that its ultimate goal is to maintain the trilateral trade agreement.
