Mexico waits for Trump tariff announcement before response, president says

Mexico will wait for U.S. President Donald Trump to announce potential new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports before responding. President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that a decision will be made based on any announcements made today. Sheinbaum emphasized a calm approach to the situation, having previously urged restraint in response to tariff threats. Mexico's economy ministry recently met with steel industry leaders to discuss strengthening national production. The U.S. has accused Mexico of flooding its market with steel imports. U.S. officials have called for more transparency regarding the origins of Mexico's steel products amid concerns about dumping practices linked to China.
