WASHINGTON, Aug 16 (Reuters) - The United States is "disappointed" Mexico has decided to impose retalitory duties on additional U.S. goods in a dispute over cross-border trucking, the top U.S. trade official said on Monday.
"Mexico is an important U.S. export market and President (Barack) Obama understands the economic pain that these tariffs cause for American farmers, companies and workers," U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said in a statement.
"We are committed to continuing to work with members of Congress and our counterparts in Mexico to resolve the dispute and end these duties," he said.
