Mexico Threatens Trump With Counter-Tariffs, China Cries Foul

First, she threatened counter-tariffs...

"One tariff would be followed by another in response, and so on until we put at risk common businesses,." Sheinbaum said, referring to US automakers operating plants on both sides of the border.

But then she said Mexico had made progress stemming the flow of migrants, insisting that "caravans of migrants no longer reach the border," (though was that really due to Mexico, or Trump's election?) before blaming American culture for the drug epidemic - calling it "a problem of public health and consumption in your country’s society."

"It is unacceptable and would cause inflation and job losses in Mexico and the United States," Sheinbaum continued, before criticizing US spending on weapons - suggesting that the money should instead be spent regionally to address the migration problem.

"If a percentage of what the United States spends on war were dedicated to peace and development, that would address the underlying causes of migration," she said.
