Mexico’s Senate approved duties on more than 1,400 products, from autos and steel to plastics and textiles, aimed at countries like China with no trade agreements with Mexico.
The message from Mexico City is unmistakable:
if you want preferential access to the US-Mexico-Canada region, you can’t be a front door — or a back door — for Chinese dumping.

Mexico has now drawn a firm line. This is exactly what President Trump, and his trade team have been urging allies to do.
Europe is moving in the same direction with duties on Chinese electric vehicles and further measures on other impacted sectors.
