President: Mexico will not be a backdoor for Chinese goods to enter the United States

Americas - On September 10, Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard stated that the country seeks to increase the tariff rate on Chinese-made cars to as high as 50%. AFP reported that if this decision is true, it is due to pressure from the United States.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on September 10 that Mexico will not be a backdoor for Chinese goods to enter the United States. Therefore, in March, the Mexican government stated that it would re-evaluate the tariffs on Chinese products.

Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard also said, "We will increase tariffs because the prices of cars arriving in Mexico are lower than what we call the reference price," Ebrard said during a break at an event in the State of Mexico on Wednesday. "Our main goal is to protect jobs, estimating that about 320,000 jobs are directly related to the trade flow of these products."
