President Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian exports, citing inadequate action against drug trafficking. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum announced retaliatory measures, to be unveiled Sunday in Mexico City's Zócalo, while emphasizing Mexico's opposition to a trade war. Sheinbaum stressed Mexico's efforts to combat cartels and reduce illegal migration, despite the U.S. imposing tariffs. The U.S. accused Mexico of providing "safe havens" for cartels, while Sheinbaum called for unity and defense of Mexico's sovereignty. The tariffs took effect despite previous commitments under the USMCA trade pact.
