The Mexican economy ministry said on Tuesday it would immediately initiate the process of taking retaliatory steps against U.S. imports following a ruling by the World Trade Organization in Mexico's favor in a dispute over tuna.
"Mexico will immediately seek authorization ... to suspend benefits, and in parallel, will initiate the internal procedures necessary to make said suspension effective against imports of products from the USA," the ministry said in a statement.
Mexico had complained to the WTO about U.S. tuna labeling rules that it said unfairly penalized its fishing industry, and had asked for retaliatory sanctions of $472.3 million, which it planned to impose on imports of U.S. high-fructose corn syrup.
Ruling on the tuna dispute, a WTO arbitrator said earlier on Tuesday that Mexico can impose annual trade sanctions worth $163.23 million against the United States.

OK,
the 'orange clown'?The orange clown is creating an atmosphere of hostility with our neighbors to the north and south. I don't think this is going to work out well for the US.
Given the US - Mexico trade imbalance we hold all the cards if Mexico wants to go down this road.We are out of the TTP, we are trying to force unilateral concessions in NAFTA, do you think that it will be just Mexico that will be reacting in the manner than Mexico is at present.
And what do you mean, win a trade war? In such a situation, there are only losers. And some of the biggest losers will be the corn farmers in the US Mid-west.

OK,
The World Trade Organization ruled Tuesday that Mexico's tuna industry has been harmed by U.S. "dolphin-safe" labeling rules and says the country can seek retaliatory measures worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

And there’s reason why eco-conscious consumers in particular might want that information. Unlike Mexican fisheries, the major U.S. producers catch tuna using fish aggregation devices (FADs), a practice that activists have condemned as “floating death traps” because of its high incidence of bycatch. Dolphins aren’t the only creatures threatened by irresponsible tuna fishing.
It is no accident then that the major U.S. tuna producers who support and benefit from the dolphin-safe label are counted by activists as among the worst offenders on sustainable fishing practices. Greenpeace released a Canned Tuna Shopping Guide earlier this year. They take into account multiple factors like the health of tuna stocks, traceability, and even “ethical labor practices.” The guide ranks major U.S. brands at the bottom for failing on almost all measures.
And what does Greenpeace have to say about the dolphin safe label? “Dolphin safe does not mean ocean safe. It means that one fishing method that targets tuna that swim with dolphins is not used to catch the tuna. What about the rays and turtles?!”
'Dolphin Safe' Labels On Canned Tuna Are A Fraud
Top executives from the three largest US shelf stable seafood brands were involved in collusion on prices and agreed to under-fill cans, along with parent companies Thai Union Group and Dongwon Industries, it is alleged in updated civil lawsuits filed in court.
As the US Department of Justice (DOJ) proceeds with a criminal investigation of price fixing in the $2.6 billion shelf stable seafood market by the three largest companies, Bumble Bee Foods, Dongwon-owned Starkist and Thai Union-owned Tri-Union Seafoods -- which trades as Chicken of the Sea -- fresh allegations are contained in amended civil complaints filed on May 23, 2016.
