Mexican officials are raising concerns about the trade pact with the U.S., highlighting that the average tariff on Mexican auto exports is nearly 19%. This is significantly higher than the 15% tariffs imposed on certain vehicles imported from South Korea.
The disparity in trade terms has prompted discussions about the fairness of the current agreement and its impact on Mexico's automotive industry.
The trade dynamics between Mexico and the U.S. have been under scrutiny since the implementation of the USMCA, which replaced NAFTA.
The evidence presented by Mexican officials underscores a growing frustration with the U.S. trade policies that appear to favor certain foreign competitors, particularly South Korea.
