Robert Lighthizer said language in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement does not call for American 'labor inspectors' in Mexico.
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer downplays Mexican concerns about a key labor enforcement provision in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
"The Administration included language in the USMCA implementing legislation authorizing up to five attachés from the Department of Labor to work with their Mexican counterparts, workers, and civil society groups on implementation of the Mexican labor reform, including by providing technical assistance and disbursing capacity building funds, and provide assistance to the new U.S.
The administration likely would not have enough time to change the language before a House vote this week.
