Arab Today, arab today Mexico to Merkel: We want ‘significant increase’ in trade

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto
Mexico City - Arab Today

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto told German Chancellor Angela Merkel Friday he wants a significant increase in trade with the EU, vowing to complete a new trade deal by year’s end.
Pena Nieto’s government has been actively seeking new trade opportunities since US President Donald Trump came to office with a threat to curb Mexico’s privileged access to the American markets.
Mexico is currently in negotiations with the EU to modernize a free-trade agreement they signed 20 years ago.
Both Merkel and Pena Nieto vowed Friday to conclude the expanded deal by the end of the year, as the German leader kicked off a two-day visit to Mexico.
“We hope the modernization of the free-trade agreement between Mexico and the EU leads to a significant increase in our trade relationship,” Pena Nieto told a joint press conference.
Merkel praised Mexico’s “strong commitment to free trade,” in a veiled jab at Trump’s attacks on globalization.
Both Merkel and Pena Nieto have been on the receiving end of some of Trump’s most fiery attacks on trade.
The US president has triggered the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Canada and Mexico, which he says has resulted in American jobs flooding south across the border.
Last month, he also lashed out at what he called the US’ massive trade deficit with Germany and accused the country of failing to pay its way in the NATO alliance.
Mexico and Germany did $17.8 billion in trade last year and are keen to expand the relationship.
Major German automakers such as Volkswagen (VW) and Audi have opened large plants here, helping make Mexico the seventh-largest auto producer in the world.
Germany’s foreign direct investment (FDI) here totaled $2.4 billion last year, more than any other country except the US and Spain.
Merkel, who is traveling with a large business delegation, was in Argentina — another Latin American powerhouse — on Thursday and Friday morning.
