Recent negotiations have centered on digital trade updates and supply chain resilience, driven by geopolitical pressures and nearshoring trends. Key risks include potential tariff disputes linked to environmental standards enforcement and political shifts ahead of upcoming elections in member countries, which could disrupt progress on integration initiatives.
