Mexico City, Nov 26 (Prensa Latina) The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, considered today that threats and tariffs will not solve the migration wave and drug consumption in the United States, and asserted that cooperation and reciprocal understanding are required, as she stated in a letter to US president elect Donald Trump.

Following Trump’s statements about raising tariffs on products from Mexico, Canada and China from the first day of his administration, Sheinbaum warned that ‘one tariff will be followed by another in response, and so on, until we put common companies at risk’.

She mentioned that among Mexico’s main exporters to the neighboring country are the North American General Motors and Ford Motor Company, she wondered why put a tax on them and argued that it is not acceptable and would bring inflation and job losses to both countries.

“ I am convinced that the economic strength of North America lies in maintaining our commercial partnership.

That way we can continue to be more competitive with other economic blocs,” she maintained.

The Mexican president emphasized Mexico’s comprehensive policy of caring to migrants, which have seen their flow cut by 75 percent from December 2023 to November 2024, according to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) figures.
