Costa Rica’s Minister of Foreign Trade, Indiana Trejos, has appealed to US-based multinational companies for assistance in preventing new tariffs on medical devices. The request centers on potential tariffs proposed by the government of former President Donald Trump. Trejos highlighted the significant role these companies could play in lobbying efforts against the tariffs, which would negatively impact Costa Rica’s economy. Costa Rica is a major exporter of medical devices to the United States. The Minister emphasized the importance of these businesses advocating for continued tariff-free access. The move signals Costa Rica’s proactive approach to mitigating potential economic damage from US trade policy. These tariffs could disrupt a key sector of the Costa Rican economy and impact trade relations.
