Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's President, responded to US president-elect Donald Trump's proposal to impose 25 percent tariffs on all Mexican imports, stating that threats will not resolve issues of migration and drug trafficking. She warned that retaliist actions could jeopardize shared companies, including major US car manufacturers.
Mexico ’s President Claudia Sheinbaum hinted at retaliation over US president-elect Donald Trump ’s proposed tariffs on her nation’s exports on Tuesday as the peso slid against the dollar. Trump vowed on Monday night to impose tariffs of 25 per cent on all imports from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office, accusing the two countries of failing to do enough to curb illegal migration and drug trafficking .
Some commenters contrasted Sheinbaum’s outspoken letter with the approach of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, her predecessor as Mexico’s president, who built a strong relationship with Trump by avoiding critical comments and beefing up migration enforcement. “It wasn’t necessary to react this way. There’s still two months until Trump’s inauguration,” said Antonio Ocaranza, director of Mexican consulting firm Oca Reputación.
