The Mexican government rejected the arguments used by the United States to justify the 25%
00:06
increase in tariffs on steel and aluminium.
00:09
Mexico's Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard denied the claims made by Washington that
00:14
steel and aluminium exports from his country had increased by more than 1,600%.
00:20
The government official described the US tariffs increase as unfair while assuring that the
00:25
trade balance is favourable to the United States, since that country exports more to
00:30
Mexico than it imports from Mexico.
00:33
Ebrard pointed out that the tariffs could affect the markets of Canada, the United States
00:37
and Mexico by increasing the price of the products made jointly by the three North American
00:42
nations.
00:43
It doesn't make sense.
00:53
So I would firstly say that if we import more steel and aluminium from the United States
00:57
than they do from us, the argument to impose tariffs is not logical, because they have
01:03
a trade surplus with us.
01:05
But secondly, these tariffs are a bad idea, because as I have already shown you right
01:10
now, only in the case of pistons we are integrated with the three countries for the production
01:16
and smelting of aluminium.
01:18
How this piston is finished, how it crosses borders, how it is assembled again in Wisconsin,
01:23
imagine eight times for only one piston.
01:26
So we have to take care of that production.
