Mexico's president calls talks with Trump excellent despite tariff threats
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum described her recent talks with President-elect Donald Trump as "excellent," focusing on economic, security, and migration issues. This marks a shift from previous tensions over Trump's proposed tariffs on imports from Mexico. Trump's threats of a 10% tariff on Chinese goods and a 25% tariff on Mexican imports have raised concerns. Mexican officials warn these tariffs could harm American jobs and increase costs for consumers, particularly in the auto industry. The discussions included Mexico's efforts to manage migration and combat drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl. Despite the positive tone of the talks, the potential tariffs could complicate trade relations under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
