Mexican truckers are seeking $6 billion in compensation from the U.S., alleging that its northern neighbor isn’t complying with a cross-border trucking plan under the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The trucking ban on Mexico “is flagrant discrimination against Mexico and its citizens, which not only violates NAFTA but also ethical principals and fundamental rights recognized internationally,” the chamber said in the statement. The chamber didn’t say in what U.S. court the lawsuit had been filed.
