The US president reported that commercial rates will remain unchanged for another 3 months while negotiating a new agreement.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced Thursday that will keep current tariffs for Mexican products for 90 days To negotiate a “commercial agreement within that period”, after talking on the phone with its counterpart Claudia Sheinbaum.
“We have agreed to extend, for 90 days, exactly the same agreement we had during the short previous period”, by virtue of which, Mexico “will continue to pay a 25% tariff to the fentanyl, a 25% tariff on cars and a 50% tariff to steel, aluminum and copper,” Trump wrote on his social truth platform.
Mexico “agreed to immediately eliminate its numerous non -tariff barriers, which were many,” he added without specifying them. A good part of Mexican products were already protected by the North American Free Trade Agreement (T-MEC), of which Canada, Mexico and the United States are part.
