The Mexican trucking association Canacar has made good on its threat and early this week filed a $6 billion lawsuit against the U.S. government.

Canacar is alleging the U.S. violated the provisions of NAFTA when it canceled the cross-border trucking program.

Mexico has since retaliated by imposing tariffs of 10 percent to 20 percent on many American goods.
