🔥 In a fiery move, Mexico isn't backing down! Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced on Saturday that Mexico will retaliate against the tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. 🇲🇽✨
\"We won't stay silent while unfair tariffs affect our people,\" Sheinbaum declared. \"Mexico will implement its own tariffs and measures to protect our nation's interests.\" 💪🌐
The tension escalated after President Trump signed an order slapping tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China. Sheinbaum wasn't having it and took to social media to set the record straight. 📱📝
She fiercely rejected Washington's accusations that her government has alliances with drug trafficking groups, calling it pure \"slander.\" Sheinbaum emphasized, \"We categorically reject the White House's slander that the Mexican government has alliances with criminal organizations, as well as any intention of meddling in our territory.\" 🚫🕵️♀️
Despite the heat, Sheinbaum stressed that Mexico seeks collaboration and dialogue with its northern neighbor. \"We're all about building bridges, not walls.\" 🌉❤️
She also highlighted her government's achievements since taking office in October, including seizing 20 million doses of the deadly opioid fentanyl and detaining over 100,000 individuals linked to drug trafficking. 🛡️👮♀️
Meanwhile, our friends up north are also joining the fray! 🇨🇦 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Canada would impose 25% tariffs on C$155 billion worth of U.S. goods. Time to buckle up, folks! 🎢
Stay tuned as this international tariff tango unfolds! 🌎💃
