Mexico-America News: An order of US President Donald Trump’s tariff against Canada, Mexico and China has launched a trade war. Mexico President Claudia Shinbam on Saturday spoke of imposing a counter tariff on American imports.
According to media reports, in a long article written on X, Sheenbam said that his government wanted a conversation instead of a confrontation with its top trading partner, but Mexico was forced to respond in the same way.
Trump issued orders
US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Saturday (1 February), in which 25% tariff was imposed on goods coming from Mexico. 25% tariff has also been imposed on goods coming from Canada, but 10% tariffs will be levied on Canada’s energy resources. In this order, 10% tariff is also imposed on imports from China.
Sheenbam posted, “I have instructed my economy minister to implement Plan B, on which we are working, including tariffs and non-tariff measures to protect the interests of Mexico.” However, he did not clarify which American goods his government would target.
Mexico in preparation to impose retaliation
The media reports quoted sources as saying that Mexico is preparing to impose potential counter -duty on imported goods from America, which can range from 5% to 20%, including pork, cheese, fresh products, manufactured steel and aluminum Can be The auto industry can be given a discount initially.
‘US allegations told derogatory’
Economy Minister Marsello Eberlard said on X that Trump’s tariff order is a ‘gross violation’ of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement. He said, “Work is going on on Plan B. We will win!” In his post, Sheenbam also dismissed the allegation of the White House as ‘derogatory’, saying that drug cartel had an alliance with the Mexican government, a point that the Trump administration used to justify the tariff.
Trump said the tariff against Mexico was imposed due to failure to prevent the deadly fantaneel drug from entering the US. Sheenbam spoke of his government’s record after assuming office in October, in which more than 10,0000 people associated with drug smuggling were detained in addition to seizing 20 million doses of Phantanil.
