President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico strongly condemned President Donald Trump's recent imposition of tariffs on her country, asserting that these actions were unjustified and would harm both nations. She highlighted Mexico's successes in combating drug trafficking and urged for mutual responsibility in addressing the opioid crisis in the U.S. She made it clear that if the tariffs persist, Mexico would respond with countermeasures, while stressing a desire for cooperation over interventionism. She ended her address by calling for national unity amid the crisis.
We are emphatic, Ms. Sheinbaum said. There is no reason, justification, or excuse that supports this decision that will affect our people and nations. We have said it in various ways: cooperation and coordination, yes; subordination and interventionism, no. Mexico deserves respect.
However, as we have stated on many occasions, the government of that country must also take responsibility for the opioid crisis that has caused so many deaths in the United States.
