Opposition PAN lawmakers have warned that the collapse of the USMCA (T-MEC) would severely impact trade across North America. Deputy Paulina Rubio stated that 85% of products traded between Mexico, the US, and Canada would be affected, urging the government to seek a stable renegotiation to counter competition from China Source: Milenio; Heraldo. She criticized the current administration for prioritizing "narcopoliticians" over economic stability, complicating regional relations Source: Heraldo.
Raúl Torres, a migrant deputy, warned that Mexico's economy could "fail and collapse" within days if no review of the agreement occurs Source: Heraldo. He argued that without the USMCA, Mexico would lose its economic leverage and capital attraction not only from North America but globally. Both legislators stressed that the PAN has consistently offered to collaborate with the government to strengthen the treaty, proposing a permanent delegation in Washington rather than occasional visits Source: Milenio; Heraldo.
Despite unified PAN messaging, the articles present slightly different emphases: Milenio focuses on Paulina Rubio's call for a "viable economic model" and the risk of Mexico being sidelined from global trade Source: Milenio, while Heraldo highlights the explicit accusation that President Sheinbaum's administration cares more about governors than citizens Source: Heraldo. Neither source offers counterpoints from the government or other parties.
“la eventual cancelación del T-MEC le “pegaría” a 85 por ciento de los productos en México, Canadá y Estados Unidos”
“de no llegar a una propuesta, el recorte comercial puede afectar a más de 85 por ciento de los productos que hoy se mueven en México, Estados Unidos y Canadá”
“La renegociación del T-MEC debe ser estable y quedarse en buenos términos, frente a economías como China”
“Estamos a días, de que la economía de México fracase y colapse si no hay una revisión al TMEC, porque Morena y Claudia Sheinbaum, prefieren cuidar a gobernadores antes que poner al centro la vida de los mexicanos”
“No se trata de ir dos días a Washington, sino de tener una delegación permanente que dialogue con los sectores”
