Mexico eyes tariff retaliation to level playing field for tequila exports

Mexico plans to impose stricter tariffs on imported alcohols to counter high tariffs on its tequila exports, as announced by Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard. Tequila, Mexico's second-largest agro-industrial export, faces up to 150% tariffs in some markets, prompting calls for balanced trade measures. The government aims to protect the industry's economic and cultural value while expanding global exports.
