Mexico considers retaliatory tariffs in response to Trump's trade threats

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum indicated that Mexico may impose its own tariffs in response to Donald Trump's threat of 25% tariffs on Mexican goods. She emphasized the need for dialogue but stated that drug issues are primarily a U.S. problem. Sheinbaum noted that Mexico has made efforts to reduce migrant flows and combat drug trafficking, including fentanyl. She warned that retaliatory tariffs could harm businesses, particularly U.S. automakers with operations in Mexico. This response marks a shift from the previous administration's cooperative approach. Sheinbaum's firm stance contrasts with former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's more conciliatory relationship with Trump.
