The National Chamber of the Iron and Steel Industry (CANACERO) in Mexico has expressed disappointment with Trump’s announcement of 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminium in a statement.
It added that it hopes the Mexican government will respond in kind.
“The Mexican steel industry rejects the imposition of tariffs by the United States and requests retaliation on steel products if an exclusion for Mexico is not achieved,” the chamber said, warning that the imposition of tariffs put regional competitiveness and economic integration at risk.

CANACERO functions independently from the Mexican government, but is tasked with fostering responsible growth in the iron and steel industry.
