Mexico announced it would impose tariffs on $3 billion worth of U.S. products to retaliate against the Trump administration's tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Mexico last week.......The import duties would be placed on products such as cheese, bourbon, and pork.
President Trump seeks to end three-way talks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement. Instead, National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow said Trump wants to deal separately with Canada and Mexico to restructure NAFTA.
“His preference now — and he asked me to convey this — is to actually negotiate with Mexico and Canada separately,” Kudlow told "Fox and Friends." “He prefers bilateral negotiations.”

Boycott Canada until they reelect Harper!
“The import duties would be placed on products such as cheese, bourbon, and pork.”
Bourbon can not be made anywhere but Kentucky. Imported Mexican brown liquor is not bourbon. The only thing consistantly imported from Mexico is Mexicans.
Cheese, bourbon and pork. We make all three better in the US.
Yes, I don’t see that as a hit....there’s so little they have to offer to begin with since all mexico does is bleed this nation like a tick on a dog.
We really should be careful. They just might stop sending us Mexicans.
Good point.
“The only thing consistantly imported from Mexico is Mexicans.”
Let’s send the 20% of their population that illegally in the US back to Mexico.
Gotta go ...later folks!
Muck Fexico.
They need to pay us for the upkeep on millions of their citizens.
Meanwhile, Mexican citizens (aka illegal aliens) send back $70B from the USA to Mexico.
In all seriousness, $3B is next to nothing.
We never eat anything from Mexico for any reason. God knows what they spray on the vegetables. The workers poop in the fields. Can you say ecoli? :-)
I hear you. :)
Coming soon to a stomach pump near you.
Trump can tax or block all the money transfers from US to MEX. HUGE bargaining chip, but MEX had to do something so they look like they’re “fighting.” But Trump has them over a barrel and they know it.
I agree...they don’t dare do more than poke a little.
DON’T CARE!
Let’s see, $3 billion vs $17 trillion.
Don’t have enough zeros to the right of the decimal point.
Can I get some zeros from my FRiends?
