President Trump announced new tariffs of 25% on products from Mexico and Canada, alongside an additional 10% on Chinese imports due to failing to tackle fentanyl trafficking. These tariffs elevate the cumulative tariff on China to 20%. The automotive sector in Mexico, where significant U.S. exports occur, faces dire consequences from these sanctions, leading to suspended $60 billion investments. Furthermore, a proposed 10% tax on migrant remittances threatens millions reliant on these funds. Concurrently, six Mexican cartels were designated as terrorist organizations for heightened U.S. intervention against drug trafficking.
"The imposition of tariffs comes as part of a broader strategy to combat the fentanyl crisis, which the Trump administration cites as alarming and unprecedented."
"These new tariffs have generated significant economic uncertainty, particularly in Mexico, resulting in the suspension of investments worth 60 billion pesos."
