Mexico to await potential Trump steel, aluminum tariffs before reacting, president says
Mexico, a top shipper of steel to the United States, will wait to see if U.S. President Donald Trump announces tariffs on steel and aluminum imports before reacting, President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday. Trump is expected to introduce new 25% tariffs on Monday on all steel and aluminium imports into the United States, on top of existing metals duties, in another major escalation of his shake-up of trade policy. "We're going to wait to see if anything is announced today, and from there we'll make a decision," Sheinbaum said in her daily morning press conference, adding she would keep a "cool head."
