Trade Tensions Rise Over Trucking, Tariffs
4/16/09

WASHINGTON -- When it comes to possible border skirmishes between the U.S. and our neighbor to the south, there's illegal drugs, immigration reform and now, a turf war over who should travel on our roadways.

Under the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, our highways are supposed to be open to Mexican trucks. However, last month, Congress put on the brakes by cutting off funding for a cross-border trucking program. Now, Mexico is retaliating by slapping tariffs on 2 billion dollars' worth of U.S. goods, making them more expensive for Mexican shoppers, and perhaps for us, as well.
