USA Today on Mexican trucks

Packer Managing Editor Fred Wilkinson here.

A USA Today editorial makes the case that the Obama administration's recent ruling barring Mexican trucks from the U.S. hurts consumers and business.

It succinctly sums up the remedy:

"It's time for the Obama administration and Congress to stop knuckling under to the Teamsters and drive a better bargain."

The administration has much bigger fires to put out and does itself (not mention U.S. exporters, workers and Mexican consumers) no favor creating a problem where none existed.

C'mon, Mr. President. It's not too late to put it in reverse and bypass unnecessary damage to trade and our relationship with Mexico.
