Mexican's Bully Mentality

Mexico to raise tariffs on US exports

Mexico' officials are going to raise tariffs on 90 exports to the US because:

"The new trade measures are in retaliation for the cancellation earlier this year of a U.S. commercial trucking project and will target U.S. industrial and agricultural products delivered to Mexico, Mexico's state-run news agency said."

Meaning: We fought so hard to keep their unregistered trucks from driving on US roads beyond a specified commercial zone.

These are trucks that are not required to comply with US rules for emissions, insurance or anything else the average legal American driver is required to meet. This would have been simply an approved method for allowing more Mexican illegal activity in this country and it was rightly, denied.

It shows the bully mentality of the Mexican government, which already has the US supporting so much of it's "native" population, that their first response is retaliatory. Their Export Secretary sounds like he has drug cartel training. NOT what we want in this country - enough already...

Too bad no one in a role to make a difference will just tell them to keep their exports until they can act more civilized.
