President-elect Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariff on Mexico in response to illegal immigration and drug trafficking risks inflating prices and raising unemployment in both nations.
Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized that illegal immigration from Mexico has significantly decreased and blamed U.S. drug demand for fueling cartel violence in Mexico.
Sheinbaum warned that retaliatory tariffs from Mexico could lead to a cycle of escalating tariffs, negatively impacting common businesses in both Mexico and the U.S.
Highlighting the issue of illegal arms, Sheinbaum pointed out that 70% of weapons seized from criminals in Mexico are sourced from the United States.
