Musk and Ramaswamy's DOGE Mission: Revolutionizing Government Efficiency

  Billionaire Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy have taken Capitol Hill by storm with their ambitious plans for President-elect Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Mexico Threatens Retaliatory Tariffs in Response to Trump's Proposed Tariffs

 

 Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced on Tuesday that Mexico is prepared to impose its own tariffs in response to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's threat to levy a 25% tariff on all products entering the United States from Mexico. This move comes as Trump aims to address illegal immigration and drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl.

Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico has taken significant steps to curb the flow of migrants and drugs, noting that "caravans of migrants no longer reach the border" and that Mexico has worked to stem the flow of drugs, despite it being a public health issue in the U.S.. She warned that retaliatory tariffs could jeopardize common businesses, particularly U.S. automakers with plants on both sides of the border.

Economists and trade experts have expressed concerns that such tariffs could lead to higher prices for consumers and potential economic disruptions. The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) prohibits the imposition of tariffs on member countries, adding another layer of complexity to Trump's threat.

As the situation unfolds, businesses and consumers on both sides of the border are bracing for the potential economic impact of these tariffs.
