Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and U.S. President Donald Trump spoke over the phone on Thursday in the midst of a controversy over the arrest of a former Olympic snowboarder.
Under the trilateral trade deal, which was negotiated during Trump's first term, the U.S., Mexico and Canada must launch a joint review of the trade pact by July 1, its sixth anniversary, to confirm their intention to renew it for 16 years or make modifications.

Claudia Sheinbaum says Mexico is in touch with US over threat of tariffs on countries supplying oil to Cuba
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she has instructed the foreign ministry to get in touch with the State Department to learn about the extent of the recent executive order imposing tariffs on goods to countries who provide or sell oil to Cuba.
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum pushed back during a press conference Thursday on suggestions that law enforcement in the country worked closely with the FBI to apprehend former Canadian Olympic snowboarder and alleged cocaine kingpin Ryan Wedding.
Some political analysts say Sheinbaum, despite her talk of defending Mexico's sovereignty, has actually acquiesced to Trump many times, particularly on security.
The Mexican president's agenda on Friday includes a news conference, ribbon-cuttings at an elevated roadway and a university in Tijuana, and the kickoff of a social program in Ensenada.
