Mexico plans to formally request an exemption from the United States’ doubled steel tariffs, Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said, criticizing the move as unjust and economically unsound.
Mexico will seek to be excluded from the United States’ recently increased steel tariffs, Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard announced, after U.S. President Donald Trump officially raised the levy on imported steel from 25% to 50%.
