Blocking the entry of Mexican steel into the US market will harm the steel industry of both countries, according to the National Chamber of the Iron and Steel Industry (Canacero), which urged Mexico’s Congress and the US government to work together to strengthen the regional market.
"The application of protectionist measures against Mexico will not solve the problem of these companies, but on the contrary, it can generate a closure of our borders and a true distortion, shortage and loss of competitiveness of the steel market in the region," Canacero reported in a press release in response to the push by congressmen who ask Joe Biden's government to block free trade in Mexican steel.
"Canacero considers it essential that both countries continue working together to strengthen the region within the framework of the USMCA. This would allow us to strengthen nearshoring trends, the investments made by both countries in recent years, in addition to combating global excess capacity," the association said.
