In a bold move, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that Mexico will retaliate against the tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump with its own set of tariffs and other measures. 🇲🇽🇺🇸
Sheinbaum took to X to emphasize that her government does not seek confrontation but aims for collaboration and dialogue with the United States. \"We categorically reject the White House's slander that Mexican government has alliances with criminal organizations, as well as any intention of meddling in our territory,\" she stated.
This declaration comes on the heels of Trump's decision to impose tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China. In response, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Canada will impose a 25% tariff on C$155 billion ($106.5 billion) worth of U.S. goods. The tariffs on C$30 billion worth of goods took effect on Tuesday, with the remaining C$125 billion to follow in 21 days. 🇨🇦
President Sheinbaum also highlighted her administration's achievements since taking office in October, including the seizure of 20 million doses of the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl and the detention of over 10,000 individuals linked to drug trafficking. 💪💉
As tensions rise, all eyes are on how these tariff battles will unfold and impact the global economy. Stay tuned for more updates! 🌍✨
