MEXICO CITY, June 3 (Reuters) - Mexico will ask that it be excluded from the United States' increased tariffs on steel, Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard told reporters before an event on Tuesday, after U.S. President Donald Trump formally doubled the duty on imported steel to 50%.
"We will ask on Friday that Mexico be excluded from this measure just like the United Kingdom was," Ebrard said, describing the measure as unfair, unsustainable and inconvenient.
