🔥 Mexico is taking a stand! 🇲🇽 President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that Mexico will retaliate against the tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump with its own tariffs and other measures. This comes after Trump signed an order slamming imports from Mexico, Canada, and China.
In a fiery post on X, Sheinbaum dismissed Washington's claims that her government has ties with drug trafficking groups as \"slander.\" She emphasized, \"We categorically reject the White House's slander that Mexican government has alliances with criminal organizations, as well as any intention of meddling in our territory.\"
Since taking office in October, Sheinbaum has highlighted her administration's achievements, including seizing 20 million doses of the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl and detaining over 10,000 individuals linked to drug trafficking. 🛡️
Not to be left out, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Canada will impose 25% tariffs on C$155 billion worth of U.S. goods in response to the U.S. tariffs. C$30 billion worth of goods will be affected starting Tuesday, with the remaining C$125 billion rolling out in 21 days. 📈
The trade tensions between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada are heating up, with each nation taking steps to protect their own economic interests. Stay tuned for more updates! 🔄
