Mexico denies retaliation against China for tariffs on Mexican walnuts

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum denied on Monday that her administration's imposition of tariffs on Chinese fertilizers constitutes a retaliatory measure against China.

The clarification comes in response to compensatory quotas of up to 51.6% applied by Beijing on Mexican walnut exports. Sheinbaum's remarks in Mexico City officially distanced the trade action involving fertilizers from any direct conflict over the agricultural tariffs.
