Mexican President Vows to Dig Her Country’s Grave by Imposing Retaliatory Tariffs On America in Response to Trump’s Bold Plan to Stop Illegal Migration
As The Gateway Pundit reported, on Monday evening, President Trump on Monday announced he would slap a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada until the illegal migrant invasion is stopped. He also announced the US will be charging China an additional 10% tariff on all of their products coming into the US until the flow of fentanyl ends.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that the tariff would start on the first day of his administration and would apply to ‘ALL products coming into the United States, and it’s ridiculous Open Borders.’ It would then only be lifted when illegal aliens and drugs, particularly fentanyl, stop flowing into America.
While Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called Trump in a panic two hours after the president-elect announced his massive tariffs, far-left Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum had a more defiant response and threatened economic suicide for her country in the process.
As TGP readers may know, Sheinbaum is a typical leftist who blames ‘neoliberal economic policies’ (which in Latin America means Capitalism) for poverty, promises a ‘strong welfare state’, and means to ‘guarantee the minimum rights to all residents.’ Moreover, she is into the ‘climate change’ cult and locked down Mexico City when she was mayor during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sheinbaum was livid over Trump’s bold move to hold her nation accountable for permitting the invasion and threatened to impose tariffs in response. She read aloud from a letter she wrote to Trump regarding the tariffs during a news conference on Tuesday in Mexico City.

“To one tariff will follow another in response and so on, until we put our common businesses at risk,” Sheinbaum said.

Sheinbaum then went on to blame America for rampant cartel violence in Mexico and the fentanyl crisis.
“We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs,” she said. “Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours.”
Sheinbaum also stated she wanted a call from Trump and would send a letter to Trudeau.
