It was stated that the US is using customs duties as a negotiation tool.

Omar Mejia, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Mexico, stated on Wednesday that the U.S. is using tariffs as a negotiating tool. After an event in Mexico City, Mejia focused on the future of trade relations in North America, particularly with Mexico's main trading partners, the U.S. and Canada.

He expressed uncertainty about the long-term impacts of these tariffs, while emphasizing that dialogue will continue to be the primary means of negotiation in North America. Although Mejia did not speculate on the possible effects or outcomes of the tariffs, his comments indicate that the situation is being closely monitored by the Bank of Mexico.
