inquirer.net

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum reported a positive discussion with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump about migration and drug trafficking. This conversation occurred shortly after her economy minister warned that Trump's proposed tariffs could significantly impact U.S. jobs and consumers. Trump plans to impose tariffs of 25% on imports from Mexico and Canada, citing drug issues and illegal immigration as reasons. Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico is addressing migration and drug consumption, particularly fentanyl, within its borders. Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard stated that Trump's tariffs could lead to the loss of 400,000 U.S. jobs and increase vehicle costs by $3,000. Both Mexico and China have opposed Trump's trade threats, highlighting potential negative effects on consumers.
