Mexico Prepares for Potential Tariffs with Contingency Plans

Mexico is bracing itself for the possibility of U.S. President Donald Trump imposing tariffs on its goods. President Claudia Sheinbaum assured the public during a press conference that the country is well-prepared with multiple contingency plans, though she refrained from disclosing specific details. "We have a plan B, C, D," Sheinbaum stated, emphasizing Mexico's readiness for any outcome.

The tariff threat stems from U.S. concerns over issues like synthetic drug trafficking and migrant arrivals at its borders. Trump has criticized both Mexico and Canada for not taking stronger action on these matters. In response, Mexican officials recently engaged in diplomatic talks with their U.S. counterparts in Washington, which Sheinbaum described as "cordial" and productive.

While the outcome remains uncertain, Sheinbaum's reassurances highlight Mexico's proactive approach to safeguarding its economy and maintaining strong bilateral relations with the U.S.
