“I instruct the Secretary of Economy to implement Plan B that we have been working on, which includes tariff and non-tariff measures in defense of Mexico’s interests,” Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's president says
Canada announced on Sunday it is imposing retaliatory 25% tariffs against the United States after President Trump's tariffs were announced on Saturday.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the "far-reaching" tariffs would apply to U.S. imports including beer, wine, home appliances and sporting goods.
The White House announced on Saturday Trump would impose 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports and 10% on Chinese imports. Trump cited illegal immigration, drug trafficking and the fentanyl crisis as reasons for the tariffs.
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Saturday in an X post that "problems are not resolved by imposing tariffs" and emphasized more diplomacy.
“I instruct the Secretary of Economy to implement Plan B that we have been working on, which includes tariff and non-tariff measures in defense of Mexico’s interests,” she wrote, translated from Spanish. “Nothing by force; everything by reason and right.”
She called on Trump to work with her to "establish a working group with our best public health and security teams."
