( Spanish) – The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, assured this Wednesday in her morning press conference that the reason for sending a letter to the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, was to warn him that imposing tariffs on products entering the United States . from Mexico and Canada will affect the economies of all three countries.
Sheinbaum said that Trump’s decision will influence, for example, US companies that have manufacturing plants in Mexico.
The president stated that she believes that the three countries are strengthened by the trade agreement known as the T-MEC. Furthermore, he emphasized that they complement each other and that the three governments know that the treaty is good for them. “The treaty helps the three economies and the three countries, their businessmen and their governments, know that,” Sheinbaum said.
Sheinbaum’s letter to Trump comes after the future president said that starting January 20 he will impose 25% tariffs on all imports from Mexico and Canada.
