MEXICO CITY, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday she hopes the United States will reconsider its decision to impose new tariffs on heavy vehicle imports.

"We are already in talks, hoping that the Mexico issue will be reconsidered," K. Sheinbaum said during her daily press conference, adding that tariffs could be problematic for both countries.

US President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a series of new tariffs, including a 25 percent tariff on imported heavy vehicles from October 1, as part of his policy of strengthening domestic industry.

K. Sheinbaum noted that under the US-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement, Mexico's exports have grown in tariff-free sectors, particularly in sectors that do not include finished automobiles, steel, or copper, thanks to the agreement's "zero tariff" scheme.

“Trade ties with the United States remain important and a significant competitive advantage for Mexico,” the president said. –0–
