During the review of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s second government report, Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard told lawmakers that Mexico expects the United States to cut tariffs on steel and cars in the coming weeks or months. He noted that the current duties include a 25% charge on Mexican cars and a 50% duty on steel and aluminum under Section 232.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The talks center on reducing these duties, as Mexico seeks a maximum 15% tariff rate for its cars, similar to the rate applied to vehicles from South Korea. Ebrard stated that maintaining the economic relationship with the United States consumes a significant portion of his ministry’s effort.

Opposition groups are currently seeking to prevent Claudia Sheinbaum's legislative majority in the Chamber of Deputies.
