“Firm response from President Claudia Sheinbaum to President (elect) Donald Trump. Time to close ranks with her. The tariff is a tax and would harm both countries. We will find a solution. See you tomorrow morning in town. “Mexico will come out ahead once again,” he said in a post.

This, as he noted in the message, until his two neighbors resolve the cross-border “drug problems” and illegal migration issues. While in the case of China, until it commits to combating fentanyl shipments to the US market.
In the morning, President Claudia Sheinbaum showed a letter she would send to Donald Trump, reiterating the importance of cooperation and reciprocal understanding to confront challenges regarding migration and fentanyl trafficking.
“It is not with threats or tariffs that the migration phenomenon is going to be addressed, nor does drug consumption in the United States require cooperation and reciprocal understanding of these great challenges. Even with the tariff, another one will come in response and so on until we put common businesses at risk,” said the President.
