00:00We now begin with the information. The government of Mexico announced tariff measures for countries
00:05that do not have free trade agreements with the nation. On Friday, President Claudia Sheinbaum
00:10announced that the government would impose tariff measures aimed at strengthening domestic
00:14production and trade. Among the measures is the possible application of a 50% tariff on imports
00:21on automobiles from China. The president stated that these do not constitute an act of coercion
00:28or discrimination against the Asian giant, but that will be applied to all countries
00:33without free trade agreements with Mexico. Meanwhile, Sheinbaum indicated that she will
00:38be meeting with Chinese authorities to take certain measures to reduce trade risks.
00:50And Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, as we were saying, said that the tariffs proposed by her
00:56government are not an act of coercion, nor specifically directed against China, but aimed
01:01at strengthening national production and trade.
01:05First, these are not coercive measures, and they are not against China. That is very important.
01:13They are not measures against a country. We have a very good relationship with China,
01:19China, and we want to continue having a very good relationship with them. So it is not against a
01:25particular country, far from it. These are decisions we take for all those countries with
01:32which we do not have a free trade agreement. So we are not violating any international rule. There
01:38are many countries in this condition. It is a decision taken to strengthen our economy.
01:44Thank you very much.
