Ternium CEO Urges Greater U.S.-Mexico Cooperation

Speaking during the 2025 Global Steel Dynamics Forum, Maximo Vedoya said that to effectively combat global overcapacity and unfair trade practices, like-minded countries ought to work together.

“The key to combat this is not by standing alone,” he said. Vedoya noted that the economies of the U.S. and Mexico are well-integrated, and although the USMCA agreement was a very good first step, more can be accomplished together.

Vedoya also said he believes there is room to incorporate Latin American and South American countries into such a coalition. However, Mexico and Canada must first agree on a revised USMCA. The current agreement is up for joint review in 2026.

Organized by the Association for Iron & Steel Technology and World Steel Dynamics, the 2025 Global Steel Dynamics Forum is taking place Tuesday and Wednesday in New York City.
