The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the “reciprocal,” or emergency, tariffs imposed by Trump were illegal, and the president warned that he would immediately use other authorities to reimpose tariffs globally. How is Mexico affected by these decisions? In other news, Mexico’s government and civil society continue to send shipments of food aid to Cuba amid the risk of a humanitarian crisis caused by the oil blockade.
