MEXICO CITY - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum pledged Wednesday to continue pushing for lower tariffs on vehicles exported outside the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
Her remarks came after the United States recently lowered tariffs from 25 percent to 15 percent on vehicles manufactured in Mexico that meet USMCA requirements - a move Sheinbaum welcomes.
"For vehicles not covered by the trade agreement, we're still seeking mechanisms to reduce those tariffs," she said at a daily press briefing.
Mexico, she said, is negotiating preferential terms for US tariffs on steel and aluminum.
