Mexico always has been our enemy

The Latest: Mexico slams US decision on solar panels tariff

AP 1-22-18 (AP taking Mexico's side, of course)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump's tariffs on imported solar panels and washing machines (all times local):
9:55 p.m.
Mexico says it regrets the United States' decision not to exclude it from tariffs on imported washing machines and solar panels.
It says it will "use all available legal resources in response to the U.S. decision." It says its inclusion in the application of protections is "regrettable" given the U.S. International Trade Commission determined no damage exists to U.S. industry as a consequence of imports of Mexican washing machines.
U.S. President Donald Trump says approving the tariffs will help U.S. manufacturers. The Republican casts Monday's decision as part of his pledge to put American companies and jobs first.
