MEXICO CITY - Fresh battle lines are being drawn that could lead to farm trade restrictions between the United States and Mexico, a letter from a top Mexican trade official seen by Reuters shows, despite the goodwill generated by the newly signed North American trade pact.
“If the U.S. government seeks any action of this kind against Mexican agricultural exports, the government of Mexico will apply similar measures to U.S. products,” Mexican Deputy Trade Minister Luz Maria de la Mora wrote in the letter seen by Reuters. Such exports are worth some $12 billion annually and support about 1.4 million Mexican jobs, according to CNA data.
Florida in particular is seen as a key swing state in the 2020 presidential election in which Trump is seeking a second four-year term.
