Bloomberg: US demands Mexico to impose duties on imports from China

The request was made during a meeting of American and Mexican officials in Washington. On the United States side, Commerce Secretary Howard Latnick was present, and Mexico was represented by Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard. “The Trump administration has told Mexican officials that they should impose their own tariffs on Chinese imports,” it said. The measure is proposed as part of efforts to prevent the imposition of tariffs on imported goods from Mexico. “Mexico has made no commitment to China,” the sources said, adding that the meeting ended with an agreement to establish a working group to continue studying trade issues. Trade duties against Mexico were imposed by US President Donald Trump on February 2. The tariff on imports from Mexico was 25%. The U.S. later suspended the tariffs for one month.
