Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador will hold bilateral talks in Washington with his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump on July 8 as part of a trip to mark a new North American trade deal, Mexico's foreign minister said on Wednesday.
Mexico's government proposed the two-day talks in Washington to celebrate the July 1 start of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which is replacing the 26-year-old North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Trilateral matters, which include Canada, will be on the agenda on July 9, Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard told a news conference alongside Lopez Obrador.
