Less than 24 hours after President Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the U.S., Mexican officials say the measure is "unfair" and expect to negotiate it.
Mexico was the third largest exporter of steel to the U.S., with more than 3.5 million tons in 2024, only surpassed by Brazil (4.5 million) and Canada (6.5 million). In that context, officials are saying Trump's decision to eliminate country exceptions and quota deals "was not justified."
