A new week and more misinformation coming from OOIDA as they push their lemmings to urge their Congresspeople to sign on to Rep. Peter DeFazio’s silly little letter calling for the Obama Administration to discriminate once more, against Mexico, by renegotiating the provision that allows Mexican trucks access to the United States.
It’s also the eve of the first anniversary of the legal tariff’s that Mexico instituted in retaliation for the closure of the Cross Border Demonstration Project.
Our sources confirm that the rumors circulating that the Mexican government may update a trade retaliation list against U.S. products is true. This new list is very likely to include tariff’s on beef, pork and chicken products exported to Mexico.
For instance, in 2009, the United States exported more than 503,000 metric tons of pork to Mexico, for a value of $762 million, making it the No. 2 market for U.S. pork exports. Similar numbers show for chicken and beef.
More trucking and manufacturing jobs are sure to be lost, if this new round of tariff’s are implemented. Hardest hit, will be Tyson Foods of course and again, the blame will not be on Mexico, but squarely on the shoulders of the likes of Peter DeFazio, Todd Spencer, Jim Johnston and all who have opposed our compliance with NAFTA.
Keep that in mind.
