Marcelo Ebrard, Mexico’s economic minister, commended the “preferential treatment” that Mexico had received following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of massive new international tariffs.
Trump announced fresh duties on several nations on Wednesday, including a “baseline” import charge of at least 10%. The new reciprocal tariffs did not apply to Canada and Mexico, but they were still subject to previous tariffs.
During a press conference on Thursday morning, Sheinbaum praised her government’s relationship with the Trump administration and stated, “There are no additional tariffs to Mexico, and that is good for the country. This relates to our positive working relationship with the US government, which is founded on mutual respect and cooperation.
President Sheinbaum’s approach has proven effective. At the same press conference, Ebrard declared, “We (Mexico) have a preferential treatment.
Shortly after taking office, Trump declared that he would impose a 25 percent tariff on all imports from Canada and Mexico; however, he eventually consented to suspend duties on goods included under the free trade agreement known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The White House said Wednesday that until Trump decides that the fentanyl and illegal immigration concerns have been remedied, this exception and the tariffs on goods that do not comply with the USCMA will remain in place.
