MEXICO CITY — Following extensive consultations, the Mexican government has announced that future adjustments to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) will focus primarily on 'optimizing flow' and 'enhancing readability' rather than introducing any disruptive new policies. Experts anticipate a robust period of reformatting, font adjustments, and potentially the reordering of annexes.

“We’ve heard loud and clear from our key economic sectors: don’t fix what isn’t entirely broken, just make it look like we tried,” stated Dr. Elena Vargas, head of the newly formed Department of Trade Document Aesthetics. “Our primary goal is to ensure the agreement feels fresh and responsive, perhaps by bolding certain key phrases or introducing a more modern table of contents. A major revamp is simply too… revamping.”

The consultations, which involved a broad spectrum of industries, reportedly revealed a strong preference for maintaining the current economic scaffolding while giving the impression of dynamic progress. One anonymous trade representative reportedly suggested adding more bullet points. Another advocated for a slightly larger margin on page 73.

“The beauty of this approach is that everyone gets to claim victory,” explained international trade analyst, Marco Ramirez. “The U.S. can say they pushed for improvements, Canada can laud the strengthening of ties, and Mexico can celebrate a more streamlined document. Meanwhile, the actual trade remains precisely as it was, but now with better kerning.”

Sources close to the negotiations indicate that the next phase will involve selecting a new, more impactful cover design for the agreement.
