New US-Mexico Deal on ISDS Won’t Affect Telecom, Says Official

As the U.S. and Mexico move forward in talks to renew the trade relationship between the countries in the North American Free Trade Agreement (see 1808270048), a senior administration official told reporters Monday that investor-state dispute settlements [ISDS] will have some changes. Some sectors, including telecom, “will get the old-fashioned ISDS,” he said. It also would establish a notice-and-takedown system for copyright safe harbors for ISPs, announced the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.
