Affirming that trade is an integral part of the United States economy and the importance of the United States-Mexico economic relationship.

Summary: This resolution affirms the importance of the United States' economic relationship with Mexico as an essential trading ally and opposes the implementation of tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico.
