Mexico Economy Minister: US Commerce Secretary Lutnick Not Opposed to Lowering Tariffs on Mexico

The signal matters less for what it confirms than for where it sits: a Mexican official characterizing a US counterpart's disposition, with no mechanism, scope or timeline attached. For cross-border manufacturers and tariff-sensitive supply chains, that is a directional hint rather than a policy change, and it lands in a trade environment where public posture and negotiated outcome have often diverged. Whether this openness translates into formal relief, and on what goods, remains the open question.
