Are we on the brink of a trade war?

Mexico is prepared to retaliate if Trump makes good on his threats.

On Monday Trump vowed to impose tariffs of 25 per cent on all imports from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office, accusing the two countries of failing to do enough to curb illegal migration and drug trafficking.

“President Trump, the phenomenon of migration or the consumption of drugs in the United States will not be dealt with by threats or with tariffs,” 

Sheinbaum wrote in a letter to the next US president, which she read out at her daily press conference. 

“One tariff will come in response to another, and so on until we put shared companies at risk,” 

she said, noting that big US carmakers were among Mexico’s principal exporters to the US.

Sheinbaum also said the fentanyl epidemic was caused by US demand and a public health crisis in the country. She blamed Mexico’s violence on the influx of guns from the US.
