Mexico's president vows to retaliate with tariffs against Trump's import tax plan

Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has responded to Donald Trump's plan to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada. She argues that such tariffs would not stop migration or drug trafficking and threatens to retaliate with her own tariffs. Trump's proposal, aimed at curbing illegal immigration and drug flow, raises questions about its legality under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Analysts suggest that while the tariffs could provide Trump with immediate political support, they may harm the US economy and consumers. Experts believe Trump's approach is a negotiation tactic to pressure Mexico into addressing migration and drug issues. They note that the real drivers of drug trafficking are rooted in American demand, not solely in Mexico's policies.
