flag Mexico urges U.S. to reconsider 25% tariff on heavy vehicles starting Oct. 1, 2025, fearing trade strain.

flag Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum urged the U.S. to show "consideration" ahead of a 25% tariff on imported heavy vehicles set to take effect October 1, 2025, warning it could strain trade relations. flag The move, announced by President Donald Trump, aims to boost domestic manufacturing but may override existing USMCA rules that previously allowed tariff-free entry for vehicles meeting regional content standards. flag Mexico, which supplied 71.9% of U.S. heavy truck imports in 2024, relies heavily on USMCA protections, with about 85% of its exports entering the U.S. duty-free. flag While the U.S. maintains a 50% tariff on Mexican steel, aluminum, and copper, ongoing talks seek to mitigate economic impacts. flag Major truck manufacturers are awaiting clarification on whether the new tariff applies to vehicles meeting the 75% North American content rule or includes parts.
