# Industry remains hopeful despite ongoing US trade tensions - Pig World

> US pork exports fell 6% in January-April 2019 to 848,500 tonnes, with Mexico shipments down 19% after Mexico's 20% tariff on US pork. Mexico removed that tariff on May 20, and the threatened US tariffs on all Mexican imports were suspended on June 8 after an immigration agreement.

## Why it matters

Removal of Mexico's pork tariff should lift US export volumes and support hog demand in coming months. The suspension of broader US-Mexico tariffs also reduces trade risk for pork flows.
