President Donald Trump of the United States recently provided Mexico with a major tariff exception that covers all USMCA-conforming imports through April 2. This brief agreement defers the 25% tariffs which generates necessary revenue for Mexican exporters along with strengthening trade relationships in the area.

President Trump made his confirmation during an “excellent and respectful” discussion with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum regarding the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and declared no goods under this agreement will face any tariffs. This agreement strengthens both Mexican market opportunities as well as the existing trade agreement that encourages economic expansion throughout North America.

According to US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick the current one-month tariff exemption may be expanded to all USMCA-compliant products as part of its future developments next to existing automotive regulations. Companies participating in the USMCA receive tariff exemptions but non-participating businesses will encounter complete tariff penalties.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has received the news with a combination of optimistic perspective. Trudeau expressed his support for the promising trade potential but kept focus on building official agreements to maintain consistency with Canada’s ongoing trade deals.
