US Ambassador Hints at Major Anti-Corruption Measures in USMCA Agreement

The U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Ronald Johnson, indicated on Thursday that significant actions are expected to combat bribery and corruption as part of the USMCA trade agreement with Canada and Mexico.

Johnson highlighted that the agreement mandates the governments involved to criminalize such offenses and enforce public officials' codes of conduct. His remarks, distributed by the embassy, suggest imminent measures to address these issues.

Reports from Reuters in October revealed that the U.S. had revoked visas for over 50 Mexican politicians, a move cited by a State Department official as a response to activities deemed contrary to America's national interest.
