The United States and Mexico are planning to cooperate on semiconductor and electric vehicle production, according to a White House fact sheet.

Both nations seek to establish a Supply Chain Working Group with the initial focus being on semiconductors and information and communications technology supply chain ecosystems, the Sept. 12 fact sheet states. A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the Mexican Ministry of Economy with leading tech firms and manufacturers to “facilitate emerging technologies and workforce development in Mexico.”
