MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexican officials are set to speak with representatives from China next week about Mexico’s planned tariffs on goods from the Asian country, President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Friday, saying the tariffs were not intended as a coercion measures.
Sheinbaum added that the proposed measures, which are set to impact hundreds of goods from countries with which Mexico does not have trade agreements, notably cars sent from China, are not against any country in particular.
China on Thursday criticized the tariff hike on Chinese autos, saying the move would undermine investor confidence and “seriously affect Mexico’s business environment.”
