Mexico considers tariffs in response to Trump's proposed trade measures

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that Mexico may impose its own tariffs in response to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariffs on Mexican goods. She emphasized the need for dialogue and highlighted that drug issues are primarily a U.S. problem. Sheinbaum's approach marks a shift from the previous administration's cooperative stance. Unlike former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Sheinbaum is less inclined to appease Trump and insists on negotiating as equals. Trump's recent threats include tariffs on all products from Mexico and Canada, aimed at addressing illegal immigration and drug trafficking. The potential tariffs could significantly impact U.S. consumers and industries reliant on cross-border trade.
