Trucks line up at the Zaragoza-Isleta border crossing, waiting to enter the United States from Mexico. According to people familiar with the negotiations, the U.S.-Mexico tariff agreement talks have stalled due to opposition from U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
The United States and Mexico had been expected to reach an agreement in which the U.S. would lower tariffs on steel, aluminum, and auto products in exchange for a series of concessions from Mexico. If the deal had been finalized, it would have paved the way for subsequent negotiations to renew the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). But in recent days, the prospects for the negotiations have been clouded by the tariffs imposed on national security grounds and enforced by the Commerce Department.
Officials from both sides, however, say the talks are still moving forward and deny that they have reached a deadlock. People familiar with the matter said Lutnick opposes significantly reducing the 25% tariff on Mexican autos and the 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum products. He also opposes lowering tariffs on so-called derivative products — finished goods made from steel and aluminum as raw materials. Domestic U.S. aluminum companies have told the government that reducing those tariffs would harm the interests of American businesses.
