U.S. Mexico Tariffs Escalate Trade Tensions as Supreme Court Decision Looms Over Controversial Economic Measures

The most consequential development this year came on February 1, when President Trump signed an executive order imposing an additional 25 percent tariff on imports from Mexico. The official reason cited was to counter what he called a “sustained influx of synthetic opioids” from Mexico, invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. These tariffs took effect February 4, sparking immediate concern from the U.S. textile industry, which relies on cross-border co-production chains. The order left the door open for even higher tariffs if Mexico retaliated, giving the president broad authority to escalate duties further if needed. The White House emphasized that these tariffs would target goods not qualifying for USMCA exemptions.
However, in early March, Trump issued new executive orders partially walking back these measures for imports that both claim and qualify under the USMCA. So, for USMCA-compliant Mexican goods, the 25 percent tariffs were removed, at least temporarily. Even so, new restrictions threaten to disrupt the region’s complex supply chains and are closely watched by manufacturers and retailers on both sides of the border. The administration is also maintaining a de minimis policy, which allows some Mexican and Canadian imports to enter duty-free—though this provision could be revoked once customs systems are deemed robust enough to collect all dues, according to the White House.
Meanwhile, trade volatility is driving broader changes. According to recent analysis from J.P. Morgan, the average effective U.S. tariff rate is projected to reach as high as 20 percent by the end of this year, a sharp rise from mid-2025 levels. Mexican exporters continue to outperform expectations, shipping $309.75 billion in goods to the U.S. through July, up 6.5 percent from last year, keeping Mexico as America’s top trading partner. But supply chain shifts are underway, particularly in auto manufacturing and raw materials like steel and aluminum, both now subject to U.S. tariffs as high as 50 percent unless USMCA rules are met.
Legal challenges are ramping up. The U.S. Federal Court of Appeals ruled this summer that most of Trump’s recent tariffs—including those on Mexican goods imposed under the Emergency Economic Powers Act—are unconstitutional. The tariffs will remain in place until at least October, pending Supreme Court action. Small businesses say these tariffs are hurting them. Legal experts warn that a Supreme Court decision, likely by November, could force refunds of improperly collected duties or set a precedent for expanded presidential trade powers.
On the diplomatic front, Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has condemned the punitive tariffs as politically motivated, while also engaging in new security talks to address drug trafficking and border security with the U.S. Despite these tensions, Mexico’s exports continue to rise, and foreign investment in Mexico remains robust, with international headlines focusing on the resilience of North America’s integrated supply chains during this period of legal uncertainty and tariff turmoil.
