Mexico has thrown a shot across the bow of the United States when it comes to trade.

Mexico will only stay in NAFTA if it suits the country and will reject any quotas when renegotiating the trade deal with US President Donald Trump, said Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray.

The minister said a free trade agreement means free of tariffs. He also said the country should strengthen its trade relationship with China.
