Mexico Threatens to Impose Tariffs in Response to Trump Tariffs
ai generated text
The current Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has suggested that Mexico could retaliate against the US by imposing its own tariffs in response to any US tariffs on Mexico. She stated that one tariff would lead to another in response, ultimately putting at risk common businesses and industries that trade between the two countries.
It's like a family member stabbing you right in the heart.
We cannot win a trade war with the United States of America, so we shouldn't start threatening that because that is not going to end well.
I don't want to stop drug overdoses to please Donald Trump, I want to stop drug overdoses so that there's not one more mother with her face buried in a pillow sobbing that she just lost her kid after 47,000 other Canadians have died.
I've had numerous conversations with key American leaders, and I'll continue to operate diplomatically.
We obviously talked about laying out the facts, talking about how the intense and effective connections between our two countries flow back and forth. We talked about some of the challenges that we can work on together.
One of the really important things is that we be all pulling together on this. The Team Canada approach is what works.
In recent days, I've worked with the RCMP and Border Services about continuing to support them in terms of acquiring new technologies, drones, helicopters, additional human resources necessary in the case of surge requirements.
President Trump's comments last evening are an opportunity for us to say to Canadians that we absolutely share the Americans concern around the integrity of the border, the security of the border. In fact, this is work that we have been doing jointly with the United States for decades.
That's not just oil and gas, that's hydroelectricity that feeds New York and Boston, it's potash that feeds people across the United States, it's uranium that powers nuclear facilities.
I think President Trump wants to ensure that he's effectively representing American interests. My job is to represent Canadian interests.
Retaliatory tariffs should be on the table as an option. Everything has to be on the table.
