What are Donald Trump's new tariff threats against Mexico?
Mexico's president, Claudia Scheinbaum, is bringing the fire. And at a press conference she just held, she's calling out Donald Trump's tariffing the world, including Mexico, 25% on steel and aluminum. She's just saying, do you all realize that based on the current trading posture, this is actually going to hurt the United States of America? far more than it's actually even going to hurt Mexico. Hey, Donald, you may want to use a little logic. Oh, wait, you don't have any. Mexico's powerful president, Claudia Scheinbaum. Let's watch it.
With the increase in tariffs on steel and aluminum by the United States, this country would be violating the trade agreement that exists between Mexico, Canada, and the United States by being a unilateral imposition. It is until March 12th. This is important. Particularly in the case of steel and aluminum, the United States exports more than it imports. So there is no deficit in favor of Mexico. On the contrary, it's in favor of the United States. It's a very important argument to say that there is no point in imposing tariffs. And we have to establish the best possible relationship with the United States, always defending Mexico's interests. but seeking to convince the President of the United States and his entire cabinet that the trade agreement we have has created economic integration that benefits the United States. It benefits Mexico too. It benefits Canada, but it benefits the United States.
The only way to compete with Asia, particularly with China and other countries, is to stick together.
And I just want to show you how cool and collected Mexico's President Claudia Scheinbaum is. For example, the day before, when Donald Trump had just stated that he was going to do these tariffs on Air Force One after saying that there would be a 30-day pause on the tariffs before, right? First, he was going to tariff, and then there was a 30-day pause after he made a fake deal. Then he said, okay, I'm tariffing the world when it comes to aluminum and steel, even though I made deals with Mexico and Canada, whatever. I break deals. My name is Trump. I lie about everything. So Claudia Scheinbaum finds out about it on the media the way everybody else does because Donald Trump is so chaotic. The media asks her about it and watch how President Claudia Scheinbaum handles it.
She's just like, look, I heard about it the same way y'all heard about it on the news. We're going to get through this together once again. Play this clip.
Has there been any communication regarding the tariffs on aluminum?
We found out the same way through yesterday's publication in the media.
And they would expect there to be a negotiation around that.
Well, let's wait. As I say today, keep a cool head in this. Let's wait to see if something is announced today. And from there, we'll make our decisions.
About what you said regarding the weapons, would Mexico then expect there to be an executive order?
Well, I don't know if it's an executive order or what mechanisms. What we want is collaboration and coordination. Without subordination and submission, as we have said on multiple occasions. Mexico and the United States share a border of more than 3,000 kilometers. We are the main commercial partner of the United States, and we have common problems and diverse problems. In Mexico, there is not a serious problem of fentanyl consumption. nor the problems related to drug consumption that exist in the United States. They have that problem.
And what I love as well is, you know, President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico is putting out some of these great videos as well, you know, which I think are videos she may have put out anyway, but in the context of her going on the offense against Donald Trump and projecting a strong, united Mexico, Videos like this where she's showing the Air Force in Mexico and showing the diversity of the Air Force in Mexico and the leaders and what a real leader looks like. Here, play this clip.
The Mexican Air Force is a bastion of our nation. I am proud to walk and fly alongside you. I know that together we will fulfill the promise to leave our children and grandchildren a country that is peaceful, free, independent, sovereign, democratic, and more just every day. We are heirs of the great men and women in the history of Mexico.
