Mexico Removes Tariffs on US Produce

Mexican tariffs numbering 10 to 45 percent on U.S. agricultural products are being removed in exchange for the US re-establishing a cross-border trucking program with Mexico (a program with new safety standards).

The tariffs being removed were placed on potatoes, cherries, pears and 87 other U.S. products.
"I think it will be a positive," Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash said, "The reason why, is historically, Mexico has been our biggest trading partner."
