Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested imposing retaliatory tariffs if Trump follows through on his threat of 25% import duties on Mexican goods.
Sheinbaum emphasized Mexico’s efforts to curb migration and drug trafficking, framing fentanyl as a U.S. public health issue and criticizing U.S. spending priorities.
She warned tariffs could harm both nations’ economies, especially their intertwined auto industries, and stressed the importance of dialogue.
Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Mexico and Canada, citing concerns about drug and migrant flows, but the US-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement prohibits such actions.

Golly, you don’t suppose the outcome of this trade squabble could push Mexico straight into China’s loving embrace, thereby achieving exactly the opposite of the ostensible goals of the trump tariffs? All whilst driving up prices in the US? Do you??
No, definitely not. The only way to lower prices is to raise them drastically. You see, if you don’t let these supposed “economists” and “third graders who understand addition” tell you otherwise, you can easily see that this is a fucking brilliant plan. That’s why the astute American public bought it. Because they’re so educated.
Your second sentence made me think of this.
Because they’re so educated.
Reminds me of that guy that said he “loved the
poorlyeducated” Wonder what happened to him…
Russia is okay with it. If they could I’m sure they would orchestrate such things to happen
By doing things like supporting the rise of one of their assets to the presidency?
Oh
They are.
We need aliens in the near future like asap… if it was ever going to be a thing we need real life aliens. They will either kill us all or bring us together as a species and unite us all together… Maybe then we can get our shit together
Nah we’ll just slap some tariffs on them too
Trump keeps praising McKinley for his tariffs, but I guess he completely forgot that it famously failed, caused prices to skyrocket for all Americans, and the Republican party handily lost in midterms and the next election.
Don’t forget to make it double the tariffs to America.
I’m sure my Canadian Government will follow this up with a strongly worded letter to the Americans asking if it’s OK if they impose tariffs, too.
Worse. Polinever is asking Trudeau to do tax cuts to offset it.
I was curious what exactly the US exports to Mexico. Apparently it’s mostly oil.
insert shocked face here
That’s exactly how tariffs work. 2 countries fucking themselves over to see who has the bigger dick. China will impose tariffs also on us.
Mutually assured tariffs
