In response to President-elect Trump's threat of a 25% tariff on Mexican goods, President Claudia Sheinbaum warned of retaliatory tariffs, stating such measures would harm businesses and increase inflation. She emphasized Mexico's measures against drug trafficking and immigration issues as areas needing cooperation, while asserting that drug-related problems are primarily a U.S. issue. Sheinbaum’s firm stance reflects a challenging landscape for U.S.-Mexico relations under her leadership compared to the previous administration, as she advocates for dialogue over confrontation.
