Mexico's ready to fire back! 🇲🇽💥 President Claudia Sheinbaum announced on Saturday that Mexico will hit back against U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs with its own set of tariffs and other measures.
Sheinbaum isn't holding back, calling out Washington's claims that her government is allied with drug trafficking groups. She slammed the accusations as \"slander\" and made it clear that Mexico won't stand for it. 🙅♀️
This all kicked off after President Trump signed an order slapping tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China. 😳🌎
In a passionate post on X, Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico seeks collaboration and dialogue, not confrontation with their neighbor to the north. She wrote, \"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.\"
Since taking office in October, Sheinbaum highlighted her government's efforts, including seizing 20 million doses of the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl and detaining over 100,000 individuals linked to drug trafficking. Talk about taking action! 🚨👊
But Mexico isn't alone in this trade tussle. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also stepped up, announcing on Saturday that Canada will impose 25% tariffs on C$155 billion worth of U.S. goods in response. The first wave kicks in on Tuesday! 🍁💪
The trade drama is heating up! Stay tuned for more updates as these countries navigate this intense economic showdown. 🔥🌐
