President Trump’s order doubling tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from 25% to 50% took effect Wednesday. In response, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum accused Trump of violating the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and said Mexico would soon announce countermeasures.

President Claudia Sheinbaum: “If there is no agreement, we will be announcing measures next week, because our responsibility is, first, to protect employment, Mexican workers, and, second, the steel industry.”
