Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says that the president-elect’s threat to enact massive tariffs on Mexican imports would lead to mutually assured economic destruction.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Tuesday that Mexico would raise tariffs on imports from the United States if President-elect Donald Trump follows through on his threat to issue a 25% tariff on Mexican imports after taking office.

President Trump, migration and drug consumption in the United States cannot be addressed through threats or tariffs. What is needed is cooperation and mutual understanding to tackle these significant challenges.
