MEXICO RETALIATION: NAFTA TRUCKING DISPUTE
On Monday, March 16, Mexico announced it would retaliate against the United States for the cancellation of the Cross-Border Trucking Demonstration Program. The list of 89 products was published on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 and effective the next day.
Background: Under the NAFTA, the United States and Mexico agreed to phase-out restrictions on cross-border passenger and cargo services.

In 2001, a NAFTA dispute settlement panel found the U.S. restrictions to be in breach of its NAFTA obligations (International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce).
