MEXICO CITY - The U.S. made clear at the second round of NAFTA modernization talks that it is serious about incorporating a domestic content requirement in a retooled deal's auto rule of origin, sources told Inside U.S. Trade. The proposed requirement for U.S. content in a NAFTA-eligible vehicle could range from 35 percent to 50 percent, these sources said.
