Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard held a 'cordial conversation' with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Washington on Friday, as Mexico contemplates its response to U.S. metal tariffs.

The meeting reflects ongoing negotiations, with Ebrard using social media to express that progress is being made, amid possible actions from Mexico if no resolution is agreed upon.
