US Edition'Unfair Deal': Mexico, EU Slam Trump's New Tariff Threats
MEXICO, JUL 13 – Tariffs aim to reduce U.S. trade deficits and pressure Mexico and the European Union to drop their tariffs, with U.S. customs duties revenue reaching a record $100 billion this fiscal year.

- Taiwanese firms with $3 billion invested in Mexico were advised to delay strategic moves until after August 1, as tariff rates remain negotiable and uncertainty persists.
