Mexico Tarrifs

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Tuesday he would hold talks with Donald Trump "if necessary" on the US president's threat to impose tariffs on Mexico's exports.

The Trump administration on Thursday came under withering criticism from automakers, foreign governments and others as officials consider imposing tariffs of up to 25 percent on imported cars and parts, a levy that could hike vehicle costs, hurting auto sales and industry jobs.
