Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that her country will retaliate against tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump with its own set of tariffs and other countermeasures. In a social media post, Sheinbaum said that she had instructed her economy minister to implement ‘Plan B,’ a strategy they have been preparing, which includes both tariff and non-tariff measures to safeguard Mexico’s interests. Ms Sheinbaum also dismissed Washington’s accusation that her government has an alliance with drug-trafficking groups, calling it intolerable. She pointed out that if such an alliance exists, it can be found in U.S. gun shops, which supply high-powered weapons to these criminal organizations.
