WASHINGTON, April 3 (Reuters) - Mexico's "cool-headed" approach to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff offensive has paid off in preferential treatment in his sweeping tariff announcement this week and a close working relationship with his trade team, Mexico's deputy economy secretary told Reuters on Thursday.

Luis Rosendo Gutierrez, undersecretary for international trade, said in an interview that Mexican officials will meet next week with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer to review U.S. tariffs on auto imports and steel and aluminum and the state of those industries.
