MEXICO CITY — An independent union won the right to bargain at a U.S. auto parts manufacturer in central Mexico after U.S. authorities said Monday they employed a special weapon — tariffs ...

President Donald Trump posted letters to the leaders of Mexico and the European Union, saying they had not done enough to head off the new tariffs.

Mexico did not face a new tariff on April 2, the day of Trump's so-called "Liberation Day" tariff rollout. There remains a 25% tariff on non-USMCA-compliant goods from Canada and Mexico, as well as a 50% tariff on steel, aluminum and derivative products.

Grocery workers at Albertsons and Smith’s stores across New Mexico will get raises and improved benefits after voting Thursday to finalize new union contracts, narrowly avoiding a potential strike.
