Donald Trump’s auto tariffs on Mexico are “unsustainable”, and US carmakers are ultimately losing out too, the head of Mexico’s auto association has warned. Mexico was mostly relieved on Thursday when Trump announced that goods exported under the US, Mexico, Canada trade deal (USMCA) would remain tariff-free for 90 days while talks continue.

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he won't raise tariffs on Mexican goods Friday for 90 days, in hopes that a new trade deal can be arranged.

U.S. President Donald Trump gave Mexico a 90-day reprieve from higher tariffs to negotiate a broader trade deal but was expected to issue higher final duty rates for most other countries as the clock wound down on his Friday deal deadline.
