What this bill would do

The Mexican Energy Trade Enforcement Act requires the United States Trade Representative to take action regarding Mexico's favor toward its state-owned petroleum and electrical companies. The representative must either request a dispute resolution panel under the USMCA or demand non-discriminatory access for U.S. energy companies during the first USMCA joint review. The bill focuses on protecting U.S. commerce abroad. Additionally, the Trade Representative must report the actions taken to specific House and Senate committees within 90 days.
