(Reuters) - Mexico responded in kind to U.S. President Donald Trump's metals tariffs by imposing its own duties on American steel on Tuesday, while also targeting politically sensitive agricultural products from pork to bourbon.
The following are some of the key tariffs imposed by Mexico:
STEEL PRODUCTS
25 percent rate on over 40 product designations, such as bars and flat-rolled steel
In order to counter an expected wave of shipments to Mexico from countries that were hit by U.S. steel tariffs and are looking for other markets, Mexico put a 15 percent tariff on steel imports from other countries
