The US plans to impose nearly a 21% tariff on Mexican tomatoes.

The US government announced that it plans to impose nearly a 21% tariff on most tomatoes from Mexico this summer, stating that the current agreement does not "protect" US tomato growers from the impact of "unfairly priced Mexican imports."

The US Department of Commerce said on the 14th that it plans to withdraw from the trade agreement reached with Mexico in 2019 and will launch an "anti-dumping duty order" on July 14, stating that "this action will enable US tomato growers to fairly compete in the market."

During Trump's first term, the US government reached an agreement with Mexican tomato producers to avoid imposing tariffs as high as 25% on tomatoes. (Source: The Hill)
