Mexico's government on Tuesday questioned the fairness of a 25% tariff ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump on its steel and aluminum imports, stressing that Mexico buys more steel from the U.S. than it exports to its northern neighbor.

The tariffs are set to take effect on March 12 and will apply to all countries' steel and aluminum exports to the United States.

According to reports, the Nissan is "studying" the possibility of leaving Mexico if Trump goes through with his threats of imposing a 25% tariff on Mexican goods
