Resumen

El Tratado México-Estados Unidos-Canadá (t-mec) fue producto de una renegociación del anterior Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (tlcan), en la que pretendía participar la administración de Trump para “poner a Estados Unidos primero” (“put America first”). Este artículo analiza las nuevas medidas más importantes del t-mec que aquella administración supuso que inhibirían la inversión extranjera en México y regresarían a Estados Unidos los empleos que habían salido de ese país. Algunas de las nuevas medidas representan mejoras respecto al tlcan, especialmente las limitaciones sobre el arbitraje de diferencias Estado-inversor (investor-state dispute settlement, isds) y el reforzamiento de la protección a los derechos laborales. Sin embargo, los nuevos requerimientos para la producción de automóviles parecen querer sabotear la producción de automotores en Norteamérica, al hacerla más cara y menos competitiva. En general, la creación del t-mec, más que debilitar, probablemente mejora la confianza de los inversionistas en la economía mexicana. Este acuerdo no parece traer grandes ganancias al empleo en el sector manufacturero en Estados Unidos, y no hay nada que indique una disminución de la estrategia de crecimiento de México basada en su dependencia de las exportaciones.
