U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said on Thursday deeper trade ties between the United States and Mexico will help both economies to grow and President Barack Obama's free trade deal will keep them globally competitive.
The United States and Mexico cannot reject globalization despite the stresses it causes some industries, towns and workers on both sides, partly due to automation, said Lew in a speech at a university in Mexico City.
"Rejecting change is not a solution. Isolating economies and people cannot stop technology, and slower growth cannot improve lives," Lew said at the Instituto Tecnologico Autonomo de . . .
