Mexican legislators have approved new tariffs on hundreds of products, especially from China, to stimulate domestic production.

Mexican legislators have adopted a package of new tariffs that will affect hundreds of products, most of which come from China. The measures, supported by President Claudia Sheinbaum, were approved by the Mexican Senate on Wednesday and will take effect on January 1, 2026. The tariffs will target goods such as metals, automobiles, clothing, and appliances. Numerous countries without free trade agreements with Mexico, including Thailand, India, and Indonesia, will be affected by these measures. This decision comes in the context of negotiations with the United States, where President Donald Trump has threatened to impose high import taxes on Mexico.
