Mexico Threatens To Apply Tariffs to Certain U.S. Exports


Mexico has announced that it intends to take retaliatory actions against a broad range of U.S. exports in response to the termination of a cross-border, long-distance trucking Demonstration Program, according to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs at a Press Briefing held on March 16, 2009.

The Press Secretary stated that the 2009 omnibus appropriations bill (Public Law 111-8) terminated the pilot trucking project, but that President Barack Obama had tasked the Department of Transportation to work with the U.S. Trade Representative and the Department of State – along with leaders in Congress and Mexican officials – to propose legislation creating a new trucking project that met both the concerns of Congress and U.S. commitments to NAFTA.

In response, Mexico published a decree in the Diario Oficial de la Federación (DOF) – which is the equivalent of the U.S. Federal Register – that modifies Article 1 of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).  Article 1 establishes tariffs for U.S. goods.  The DOF decree states that because the U.S. is out of compliance with its NAFTA obligations regarding the cross-border trucking Demonstration Program, and the U.S. and Mexico have not reached a satisfactory solution, Mexico can suspend equal benefits.  Mexico is therefore increasing tariffs on certain U.S. imports of its choice.  Approximately 90 U.S. agricultural and industrial products are affected.  The higher tariffs take effect on March 19, 2009.

I think we oughta just annex Mexico.   :P
Seriously, they have been a horrible bordering neighbor. 
I would not be surprised if U.S. troops are sent in to restore order. 
Restore isn't the right word perhaps. 
In order to restore something, it must have existed in the first place.

GOOD.
Stop importing all their lettuce that is mixed with their drugs
and start allowing the American farmer to start making a living again
and slow the flow of drugs.
I live in Arizona and see the problem on a daily basses.
What the media is telling the rest of the Country is about as factual
as what they report about Obama.
We have a REAl big problem in the south western states with the Mexicans.
I am not anti Mexican but there are HUGH issues to be dealt with.

Mark my words. The main stream media will jump to the defense of Mexico on this.

I just got word that the Mexican truck drivers are going to start blockades to slow down or stop truck traffic up to the US border.

If the Mexicans want to start a tarriff war, they will loose.

You want us to pay waht ever % on our products.  Not a problem we will send back to you that same % of your illegal citizens that are here.

Well we just need to send them some where where it would be harder to get back.
I say we send anyone in question to China, France, or Iraq.
Bet if we made that statement and gave a date it would be enforced 95% would leave before that date on their own free will.

Our government is a complete and total failure. The only way I can describe it is their is a slow and methodical coup going on. Our enemies have figured out how to use our freedoms and laws to take it over.

I hope this country breaks in two. Its the only chance we have to bring it back to the way it is suppose to be. I often wonder what would this country be like if the south would have won. We likly would not have this mess on our hands.

Nafta and free trade...man as a Union Official for 30 years or so I know excactly what it has done to America. Our manufacturing base left this country in a flash and will never return.

Yet it has been done and will never be undone.

Obama is stupid a trade war right now will collapse this economy faster that they can spend our money.

The global economy was destiny in action. It simply became as a part of the evolution of the world. We do not like it as it was us that had to move down while the other nations had no where to go but up.

It has devestated the Steel Industry, The Autos, and all manufacturing Industries of this nation and it has been the single biggest reason for being where we are today.

Isolationist and those that will stop trade just simply do not understand all the ramifications that will take place and they do not understand that the Enie is out of the bottle and can not be put back now.

It is disgusting yet too late way too late to undo it now.
