Mexico has to review its China tariffs to protect its domestic industry, President Claudia Sheinbaum said on March 6.

The announcement follows U.S. President Trump’s decision to delay tariffs on imports that fall under the U.S.–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) for a month. In Mexico’s case, the delay covers half of its exports to the United States.
