Mexican president vows retaliation against Trump's proposed tariffs

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has strongly opposed Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariffs on Mexican goods, promising retaliatory measures if implemented. She emphasized the need for cooperation rather than threats to address immigration and drug issues. Sheinbaum highlighted that a significant portion of illegal weapons in Mexico comes from the U.S. and pointed out that Mexico has made efforts to manage migration. She noted a 75% decrease in border encounters from December 2023 to November 2024. Trump's campaign has focused on strict measures against undocumented migrants and drug cartels. He has suggested military action in Mexico and is seeking aggressive strategies to combat drug trafficking. Sheinbaum aims to establish a dialogue for mutual solutions.
