Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum condemned the US decision to double tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50 percent, calling it unfair and lacking legal basis.
Sheinbaum noted that Mexico imports more steel and aluminum than it exports, making the tariffs unjustified. She also rejected the national security justification, Reuters reported.
Negotiations with US officials are underway, and if no agreement is reached, Mexico will announce measures next week to protect its industry.
