Mexico and Canada won a trade dispute with the U.S. over cars shipped across regional borders, providing automakers more incentive to make vehicles in those nations.
The decision was included in a final report released Wednesday by a five-member dispute-resolution panel set up under the 2020 U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The panel made its preliminary ruling in November, but it wasn’t released until this week, after the leaders of the three countries met in Mexico City.
Arbitrators “concluded that the United States has breached” an article of the USMCA, the panel said.
