Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum made it clear that tariffs were not discussed during her recent phone call with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump. The focus of their conversation centered around migration, a hot-button issue for Trump that has led to threats of imposing tariffs on Mexico. Sheinbaum stated that she outlined a strategy to address the flow of migrants before they reach the U.S. border.
Trump’s declaration of Mexico agreeing to halt migration through their country and effectively closing the southern border was disputed by Sheinbaum. The potential imposition of a 25 per cent tariff on Mexico has raised concerns, especially considering the strong trade relationship between Mexico and the U.S. as each other’s top trade partners.
The implications of these conversations have the potential to impact not only the economies of both countries, but also the overall relationship between Mexico and the U.S. As tensions continue to rise, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the coming days. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
