Mexico threatens tariffs against U.S.
July 28, 2007

MEXICO CITY — Mexico is prepared to impose tariffs on U.S. goods unless the U.S. fulfills an agreement to let Mexican trucks carry goods across the border, Transportation and Communications Minister Luis Tellez said.
Tellez, responding to a July 24 vote by the U.S. House of Representatives to delay the start of a trial cross-border trucking program, said the North American Free Trade Agreement permits retaliatory tariffs. The House voted to limit Mexican trucks for a year to a zone within 25 miles of the border. President Bush had agreed to start the plan in April.
"Should the U.S. Senate affirm the House decision, we will have no option but to take retaliatory commercial measures against the U.S.," Tellez said.

Let 'em retaliate. Mexico does not control this country and it's about time somebody let them know that.

Pork growers insist on a tariff FOR pork imports


Mexican pork growers formally requested to the Secretariat of the Economy (SE) the establishment of an "emergency tariff" for pork imports from the United States. Enrique Dominguez, director of the Mexican Pork Growers Confederation, explained that their affiliates have reported losses of nearly US $140,000 last year, and that domestic production has lost over 50% of the Mexican market because of U.S. imports. "Farms are closing, production units are closing down. We’ve requested tariff protection under the Agricultural Chapter of WTO", said Dominguez, who also explained that the GOM could request the tariff as retaliation for the U.S. refusal to grant access to Mexican trucks.
