Mid-evening announcement of Tariff on Mexico's tomato crop (Trump admin.)

The Hill reports at 8:30 p.m. April 14, 2025

that the U.S. Government is slapping a 21 percent

tariff on the Tomato crop coming from Mexico 

in the summer.

Commerce Department (Secy. Howard Lutnick)

said on Monday that Trump 2.0 - Vance will withdraw

from the 2019 U.S. - Mexico - Canada trade agreement

it negotiated during the Trump - Pence first term (2017 -

Jan. 19, 2021).

This announcement marks an end to the compromise with

then-Mexican officials that included enforcement

provisions and inspection mechanisms and ways to

establish prices for various types of the agricultural commodity.
