Mills seeks reciprocal trade with Mexico via tariff-free access
Representative Mills of Texas introduces a bill to grant duty-free entry for all U S goods in Mexico in exchange for duty-free access for Mexican goods in the United States, with Treasury rules to prevent non Mexican products entering. The measure mirrors post 1855 Canada relations, aims to boost U S Mexico trade, face Senate uncertainty, and draw Republican backing including Hitt Butterworth.
