Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed confidence that a tariff war with the U.S. can be avoided following recent tensions.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday she is confident a tariff war with the U.S. can be avoided, following recent tensions over migration and trade policies.
Her comments came one day after a phone call with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, although the details of the conversation remain unclear.
“There will be no potential tariff war”, Sheinbaum said at a daily briefing when asked about the possibility of U.S. tariffs on Mexican goods.
She added that her conversation with Trump had been “excellent”, but did not clarify the specifics of any agreements or promises made during the call.How will Mexico Stop Unauthorized Migration into the US?
On Wednesday, Trump posted on social media that Sheinbaum had agreed to stop unauthorized migration across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Sheinbaum, in turn, confirmed the discussion, stating that “migrants and caravans are taken care of before they reach the border.”
However, the nature of her commitment—whether it was a formal pledge, an understanding, or simply a reflection of existing policy—remains unclear.
