Mexico says US tariffs will not curb migration or drug trafficking

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that proposed tariffs by President-elect Donald Trump will not effectively address undocumented migration or drug trafficking. She emphasized the need for dialogue instead of threats. Trump plans to impose a 25 percent tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, aiming to curb drug trafficking and illegal immigration. He also announced a 10 percent tariff on imports from China. The tariffs come as Trump prepares to take office, where he has pledged to enhance border security and address illegal migration through military action. The situation contrasts with the existing US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement.
