Mexico won’t retaliate against President Donald Trump’s tariffs until the threat seems more serious, Mexican trade official Guillermo Malpica Soto told CNBC on Friday.
Trump’s announcement late Thursday of a 5% tariff on goods from Mexico is « so far only an announcement, » said Malpica, head of the Trade & NAFTA Office. « We have to wait and see what the complete notification procedure from the U. S. to Mexico [is], and then assess how that would impact our commitments with the U. S. »
Trump said late Thursday the tariffs on Mexico would be implemented beginning June 10.
