Mexican president optimistic about avoiding tariff war with US after Trump talks

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed confidence that a tariff war with the U.S. can be avoided. Her remarks followed a conversation with former President Donald Trump, who claimed Sheinbaum agreed to address unauthorized migration. Sheinbaum stated there would be "no potential tariff war," but details of their agreement remain unclear. Trump had threatened to impose tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada unless they effectively manage illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Concerns persist among Mexicans about the impact of U.S. tariffs on regional economies, particularly for avocado growers. Sheinbaum warned that higher prices could lead U.S. consumers to reduce purchases, affecting the industry significantly.
