Bloomberg reported on U.S. enforcement of duties in Mexico
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump requires Mexico to impose trade duties on imports of goods from the People's Republic of China (PRC). This was reported by Bloomberg on February 23.
"The Trump administration told Mexican officials they should impose their own duties on Chinese imports as part of an effort to avoid tariffs threatened by President Donald Trump. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was among the U.S. officials who conveyed that message at Thursday's meeting in Washington," the agency's sources said.
The Mexican side was represented at the talks, including the country's Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard.
"Mexico made no commitments to China during the meeting, which ended with an agreement to create a working group of representatives from both countries to continue studying trade and duty issues," Bloomberg reports.
Nevertheless, after speaking with U.S. officials, Ebrard wrote in a post on X that the meeting in Washington was the beginning of a "constructive dialogue and joint work will begin on Monday, February 24.
On Feb. 14, Trump called the $600 billion in duties against China a record for the United States. He also noted that "no other president has imposed so many." On Feb. 1, Trump signed an executive order imposing trade tariffs of 25 percent on goods from Canada, China and Mexico. In response, China's State Council reported on February 4 that China will impose duties of 15% on coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States starting February 10.
