US, Mexico conclude first round of trade deal talks on autos, metals, security

U.S. and Mexico negotiators ավարտed their first bilateral round to revise the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, focusing on automotive rules of origin, steel and aluminum trade, and economic security. The discussion is directionally important for North American supply chains and auto/metal exporters, but the article reports no policy change or concrete market-moving outcome. Near-term impact is likely limited unless the talks produce tariff or rules-of-origin shifts.
