    USTR Greer says rules of origin to be central in USMCA talks

    Written by Ethan Bernard

    US Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer said rules of origin will be a major focus of upcoming USMCA review talks.

    This comes on the heels of Greer’s recent visit to Mexico. He said if Mexico and the US are going to have a close trade relationship, “we need to make sure that the goods are actually from the US and Mexico and not some third country using Mexico as an export hub to get into the US without any obligations of the agreement.”
