Mexico's exports climbed 7.6 percent in 2025, despite its auto, steel and aluminum sectors being swept up in US President Donald Trump's tariffs blitz, according to figures released Tuesday.

Over 80 percent of Mexico's exports, which totalled $664.8 billion, went to the neighboring United States, according to statistics released by national statistics agency INEGI.
