Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum mandated that all public works projects must exclusively use steel produced by domestic companies. The policy responds to 50% tariffs the United States imposed on Mexican steel and aluminum last year. This protectionist shift signals a hardening stance as USMCA renegotiations fail to provide tariff relief for Mexican industrial sectors.
