Amid ongoing tensions regarding tariffs imposed by the US, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has emphasized that Mexico will not adopt a tit-for-tat strategy in response to US tariffs. In recent statements, Sheinbaum has called for a focused approach to continental trade while navigating the complex impacts of such tariffs on Mexico’s economy. There are concerns among Mexican companies, especially in the automotive sector, about the potential negative effects of US tariffs, including risks to production chains and increased illegal migration. Despite these challenges, Sheinbaum remains hopeful about securing preferential treatment from the US and believes that maintaining a cool head could shield Mexico from the worst outcomes of the tariff situation.
