Mexico's tequila exporters warily eye US tariffs deadline

- Mexico
Tequila Cascahuin envisioned exporting about 350 to 420 cases to the United States this year and building from there. But those plans could be derailed by President Donald Trump's threat of tariffs starting at 5% and rising higher until he is satisfied Mexico is doing enough to stop the flow of Central American immigrants through its territory.
Last week Trump shocked Mexico with a June 10 deadline to impose tariffs on all Mexican imports. (dpa)
