Avoiding Mexican Tariffs a Major Relief to U.S. Meat Industry

The White House recently announced a plan to impose tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico unless more steps were taken to curb illegal migration at the U.S.-Mexico border. But on June 7, President Trump announced that Mexico had pledged to enhance its efforts to address border security issues, and the proposed tariffs were not imposed. As U.S. Meat Export Federation’s (USMEF) Joe Schuele reports, that was a major relief to the U.S. meat industry.
