Mexico isn't having any better luck.

Lutnick has opposed significant reductions in the 25% tariff on Mexican automobiles and the 50% levies on steel and aluminum, the people said. Also on metals, he has objected to reductions in tariffs on so-called derivative products—finished products made of steel and aluminum. Domestic aluminum companies have told the administration that any reduction in these levies would undermine U.S.-based firms and cost American jobs.
