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.”

Economic war between Mexico and the US? I won’t need a lot of popcorn for this one.
Yeah—Good luck with that.
What do we buy from Mexico?
Of course, we could consider illegal aliens to be one of Mexico’s exports and charge a tariff on each illegal alien captured along the US-Mexico border - send the bill to the Government (such as it is) of Mexico.
Why are all these countries attacking our bourbon? Sheesh. They must really want their people to suffer.
Pop. Hahahahahaha
LOL! Good one.
Stop all money transfers to Mexico from anyone who isn’t able to prove legal residence and employment in the US.
and . . . electronic transfers out of the US will receive a 25% assessment.
Produce
Labor
The kids buy that Corona crap and pot, the pot isn't subjected to tariffs.
“Stop all money transfers to Mexico from anyone who isn’t able to prove legal residence and employment in the US.”
I wish FR had a like/love button. I’d use it for your comment.
Americans spend $2.4B/year on hot dogs alone.
Sounds like NAFTA is on the way out.
In NAFTA, the US is one of three, like any other. In bilateral agreements, the US is the overwhelmingly more powerful.
The biggest problem with NAFTA, is that Mexico and Canada exploit it to take a small cut for letting China and others avoid US controls to dump their products into the US market. Free money for them; while US industries, workers and tax revenues bear all the burdens.
Like we needed more proof the rest of the world practices mercantilism and protectionism.
The “downside” of that would seem to be that there’s more bourbon available for the domestic market, presumably at lower prices due to greater domestic supply.
#MAGA #WINNING !
