Mexico Defends Right to Apply Tariffs to China

Mexico defended its right to apply tariffs to Chinese imports, citing unfair competition in sectors like steel, textiles, and automotive. Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard argued that the tariffs aim to level the playing field for domestic industries. The move follows China's complaint about the tariffs, but Ebrard maintained that Mexico's actions are legitimate and in line with World Trade Organization rules.
