MEXICO CITY: Mexico is planning to establish a “task force” to involve US companies in the process of reducing imports from China, the country’s economy minister tells a group of auto suppliers at a private meeting last Friday in Detroit.

Careful not to “speculate” about what would happen todayday when US President-elect Donald Trump takes office, minister Marcelo Ebrard said the government wanted to pitch a task force that would include the “most important companies” operating in Mexico to assess how to respond to Trump’s next moves, which could include tariffs of 25% if he makes good on his threats.
