Trump administration presses for 82% North American vehicle content under USMCA, with half from US
US negotiators in Mexico City push tougher auto content thresholds, tighter calculation methods and extended tariffs, while sidelining Canada from the latest USMCA talks
The Trump administration has presented Mexico with a proposal to significantly increase the regional content requirements for North American–built cars and trucks under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), Reuters reported on May 29, citing people familiar with the development. The US is demanding that vehicles should contain at least 82% regional content to qualify for preferential access under the trade agreement, with half of that value produced in the US.
