Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Mexico approved tariffs on a broad set of imports from China and other non-FTA countries, with rates up to about 50% on more than 1,400 product categories. These measures were approved by both chambers of Congress and are expected to take effect in early 2026.
- The move is part of a policy shift to bolster domestic production and address trade imbalances, and it has drawn strong criticism from China and other trading partners. China has signaled it may respond with investigations into trade barriers.
- There were previous pauses and ongoing negotiations around non-tariff barriers with the United States, including discussions that extended the timeline for tariffs as talks continued.
If you’d like, I can pull more details on the specific tariff schedules, affected product lists, or the current status of Mexico-US trade talks, and present them in a concise summary.
