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

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has indicated that Mexico may impose its own tariffs in response to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's threat of a 25% tariff on Mexican goods. She emphasized that drug trafficking is primarily a U.S. issue. Sheinbaum noted that Mexico has made efforts to reduce migrant flows and combat drug trafficking, including fentanyl. She criticized U.S. spending on weapons, suggesting it should focus on regional development to address migration causes. 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.
