Mexico Challenges Trump's 'Unjust' Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum

Mexico Challenges Trump Tariffs: Ebrard Calls Steel and Aluminum Levies 'Unjust' and 'Unsustainable' Mexico is stepping up its challenge to the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on Mexican steel and aluminum. In a recent interview, Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard denounced the levies, calling them "unjust" and "unsustainable." The video, released by the Mexican news outlet Ejecentral, shows Ebrard delivering a direct statement on the matter. "These tariffs, which were announced a few days ago and go into effect tomorrow, are 50% on steel," Ebrard stated. He further argued that the tariffs are particularly unfair given the United States' trade surplus with Mexico in this sector. "It makes no sense to impose tariffs on a product where you have a surplus," he added. Ebrard's statement highlights the ongoing tensions between the US and Mexico regarding trade policy. The Mexican government is likely to pursue diplomatic solutions to resolve this issue and protect its economic interests.
