Canada’s Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand will travel to Mexico City on Tuesday for two days of meetings with President Claudia Sheinbaum and senior Mexican officials, according to multiple media reports including Reuters and The Globe and Mail. The discussions will focus on expanding bilateral trade and economic cooperation at a time when both governments are seeking to diversify markets beyond the United States. The mission follows Washington’s decision last week to lift tariffs on Canadian goods not covered by the U.S.–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) to 35 percent, after Ottawa missed an August 1 deadline to resolve disputes over fentanyl smuggling and other trade barriers. Mexico, by contrast, secured a 90-day grace period that postponed similar levies, giving it room to negotiate with the White House. Canadian officials say the talks in Mexico aim to deepen supply-chain integration and present a united front as North American partners navigate escalating U.S. protectionism.
