Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says her government will meet with Chinese officials to discuss planned tariffs on goods from the country.
Mexico’s plan to levy new tariffs on China and other Asian countries would put import fees on certain goods, including cars, toys and textiles.
The plan comes after pressure from the United States for Mexico to reduce its economic relationship with China. China sharply criticized Mexico’s tariff plan, suggesting it’s a direct response to that pressure.
Sheinbaum says Mexico is now considering possible changes to its initial plan, which included tariffs of up to 50%. She says Mexican officials will meet with countries, including China, and will consider adapting the plan, which is set to go before Mexico’s congress later this year.
