MEXICO CITY, July 6 (UPI) -- U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and his Mexican counterpart signed agreements resolving a dispute over long-haul, cross-border trucking services.
The new program, signed Wednesday in Mexico City by LaHood and Mexico's secretary of communications and transportation, Arturo Perez-Jacome Friscione, paves the way for Mexico to lift retaliatory tariffs it imposed more than two years ago on more than $2 billion in U.S. manufactured goods and agricultural products, the U.S. Transportation Department said in a release.
