🔥 Trade tensions are heating up! Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum announced on Saturday that Mexico will hit back against U.S. tariffs with its own measures. 🛑💥
In a bold move, Sheinbaum declared that her government would implement tariffs and other actions in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's recent tariff imposition on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China. 🌐📈
Sheinbaum didn't hold back, rejecting Washington's accusations that her administration has alliances with drug trafficking groups. She called these claims \"slander\" and emphasized Mexico's commitment to fighting crime. 🚫👊
In a lengthy post on X (formerly Twitter), the president stressed that Mexico seeks collaboration and open dialogue with its northern neighbor, not confrontation. 🤝❤️
\"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,\" Sheinbaum wrote. 📝🇲🇽
Since taking office in October, Sheinbaum highlighted her government's achievements, including seizing 20 million doses of the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl and detaining over 100,000 individuals linked to drug trafficking. That's a massive crackdown! 🚔🔒
Meanwhile, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also announced on Saturday that Canada would impose 25% tariffs on C$155 billion (about $106.5 billion USD) worth of U.S. goods as retaliation. Looks like the U.S. tariffs have sparked a global response! 🌎⚡
With trade tensions escalating, we'll be keeping an eye on how this affects relations and economies across North America. Stay tuned, amigos! 🌟👀
