Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum says her country won’t hit the United States with reciprocal tariffs — at least not yet — after U.S. President Donald Trump hit her country with tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos.
Even though Mexico isn’t facing the same across-the-board tariffs that Trump put on virtually all other countries last week, it is still facing tariffs in those industries, as well as on goods that don’t fall under the USMCA trade deal between North American countries.
Canada announced a reciprocal tariff in response to Trump’s tariff on autos made there last week, but for now, Mexico is holding off.
Sheinbaum said during her regular morning press conference Monday that her administration is still in negotiations with the United States. Her economy minister will be in Washington, D.C., to meet with U.S. counterparts this week.
