Retaliatory Measures In Response To US Tariffs, Says Mexican Leader
(MENAFN- AzerNews)
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that the country will
implement "tariff and non-tariff measures in defense of Mexico's
interests” as part of the country's "plan B" in response to United
States President Donald Trump's 25% tariff on Mexican imports,
Azernews reports.
"We categorically reject the slander made by the White House
against the government of Mexico regarding alleged alliances with
criminal organizations, as well as any interventionist intentions
in our territory," Sheinbaum wrote in a post on X, adding that "if
such an alliance exists anywhere, it is in the arms depots of the
United States, which sell high-powered weapons to these criminal
groups, as demonstrated by the US Department of Justice in January
of this year." Additionally she stated that she had "instructed the
Secretary of Economy to implement Plan B, which we have been
working on, including tariff and non-tariff measures to defend
Mexico's interests."
Earlier, the White House stated, in a post on X, that the US
tariffs on Mexico were meant to pressure the country to cooperate
with the United States in the fight against drugs.
