Mexico Considering Imposing Tariffs on China, President Sheinbaum Says
Mexico aims to protect domestic businesses by proposing tariffs on imports from countries without trade agreements, including China, as part of its 2026 budget plan.
- On Thursday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her government is weighing tariffs on imports from countries without trade agreements with Mexico, including China.
- The move follows tariffs recently imposed by US President Donald Trump, and Claudia Sheinbaum said the tariff idea is embedded in Plan Mexico, a strategy to strengthen domestic industry.
- Additional levies would target a broad set of goods, including cars, textiles and plastics, aimed at protecting domestic businesses, though Sheinbaum did not specify sectors or rates, saying sectors will be released in due time.
- The government plans to include tariff increases on some Asian countries, including China, in its 2026 budget proposal due this month, and Claudia Sheinbaum said it's part of Plan Mexico.
- As context, Mexico is a USMCA member that replaced NAFTA in 2020, and the agreement requires a three-country joint review after six years.
