Canadian ministers to discuss trade with Mexico's Sheinbaum, The Globe and Mail reports
(Reuters) -Canadian government ministers are set to engage in discussions on trade with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and other government officials, The Globe and Mail reported on Sunday. Canada's Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne and Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand are heading to Mexico City for two days of talks beginning on Tuesday, the report said, citing sources familiar with the planning. The potential discussions come days after both Canada and Mexico failed to reach trade agreements with the United States by an August 1 deadline set by President Donald Trump. On Thursday, Trump signed an executive order increasing tariffs on Canadian goods to 35% from 25% on all products not covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement (USMCA). The White House cited what it said was Canada's failure to stop fentanyl smuggling and a failure to address U.S. concerns about trade barriers. By contrast, Mexico secured a temporary reprieve. Sheinbaum secured a pause on new tariffs coming into effect and a 90-day period to work on a trade deal in a call with Trump. The agreement avoids the 30% tariffs that had been set to come into force on Friday deadline. The pause safeguards the USMCA and means goods compliant with the pact will continue to be exempt from the 25% tariffs Trump imposed earlier this year due to the fentanyl crisis. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. The government of Mexico, Canada's Prime Ministers office and Global Affairs Canada did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Mexico Asks US for ‘Immediate Repatriation' of Mexicans Detained in Alligator Alcatraz
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Wednesday that 30 Mexicans are currently being held at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport detention center in Florida. The center is more commonly referred to as Alligator Alcatraz because of its remote location deep in the Florida Everglades swamps, with a large population of alligators and snakes. It began operations on July 1 as a detention center for illegal immigrants detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and awaiting prosecution and deportation.
