Since President Trump’s return to the White House in January, tariffs have become the top lever for U.S. trade policy. On February 1, he declared several national emergencies, accusing Mexico of failing to stem fentanyl flows, and imposed sweeping 25% tariffs on most goods from Mexico and Canada. According to Wikipedia’s chronology of 2025 trade policy, Trump reaffirmed these tariffs on February 27, stating, “drugs are still pouring into our Country from Mexico and Canada.” The tariffs officially took effect on March 4, with Canada retaliating and Mexico preparing its own response shortly after. While both countries scrambled to comply with USMCA rules and minimize the impact, compliance paperwork initially covered only half of Mexican imports, though officials expect near-total compliance soon. The Wall Street Journal warned these moves could “profoundly reshape relations between the US and two of its biggest trading partners, abruptly reversing America’s decades-long project of expanding free trade with its allies.”
The biggest headline in agriculture broke on July 14 when the U.S. imposed a sudden 17.09% compensatory tariff on all fresh tomatoes from Mexico. The industry was caught flat-footed, reshaping exporter behavior and prompting Mexico to set minimum export prices to avoid further dumping allegations, as covered by FreshPlaza. Tomato growers now face sharply higher costs, shifting to more selective buyer relationships to survive. The message from Mexican produce exporters: these tariffs might protect a handful of growers but are raising prices and shrinking choices for millions of American families—a call for negotiation and stability.
Meanwhile, as explained by El País and recent reporting by ABC News, the Trump administration isn’t just linking tariffs to trade: security, migration, and counternarcotics all now play into tariff threats. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in Mexico City today, pressing President Claudia Sheinbaum to sign a security deal that would give the U.S. more latitude in fighting cartels—underwritten by the resumption or suspension of tariffs. Trump’s message is clear: unless Mexico aggressively curtails cartel activity and migration flows, the U.S. will keep tariffs high or hike them further. Around 80% of all Mexican exports still go to the U.S., making this tariff standoff a vital concern for nearly every sector of Mexico’s economy.
As of today, effective U.S. tariffs on most Mexican goods remain at 25%, with specific sectors like autos, steel, and now fresh tomatoes facing even higher rates. Section 232 tariffs have especially disrupted the auto sector, but there are carve-outs for USMCA-compliant goods, which are gradually reducing the overall impact as compliance expands.
