Mexico’s president responded angrily to President-elect Donald Trump’s pledge to impose a 25 percent tariff on its products if the country didn’t curb the flow of irregular migrants and fentanyl, warning that the penalties would only wind up causing inflation and unemployment in the United States.

wapo.stMexico and Canada push back against Trump’s tariff threatsMexico is the top U.S. trading partner, and Canada is not far behind. Mexico’s president has vowed to retaliate with her own tariffs on American goods.

I hope this POS does what he says as there would nothing better than to watch multitudes of Republican owned companies go bankrupt and out of business. So much for those morons who said he would help the economy.

Sorry Canada & Mexico for this stupid💩...please just remember there are lots of people here in the USA who didn't vote for this jerk (and I could use something Stronger, but I won't...) and certainly don't agree with his 💩💩!!

I speak fluent Maga so here is how Fox will report it. “Trump puts tariffs on mexico and canada to fix the Bidens administrations failed border policies. These tariffs are meant to stop drugs from coming in. The rise in prices is a direct result of Bidens border“ Did i get that right. Lol

Does he realizes that they can do the same or other things in response? It goes both ways. Republicans really want another recession. It’s their go-to every time they are in office. Bankrupt the middle class and poor.

Love a good tariff war 🙄 Making America Great Again by screwing the middle and lower class and making the rich richer. I hope someone documents how much money Trump and his cronies make the next 4 years, they give two shits about the people.

Mexico's is the most important trading partner of the US. . In 2023, the U.S. and Mexico traded $807 billion in goods, making Mexico the U.S.'s top trading partner for goods. The U.S. also has the largest foreign direct investment (FDI) in Mexico, with $144.5 billion in 2023.

Shes 100% correct and one HELL of a lot smarter than Trump. I feel like college freshman will be discussing this in their Intro to Economics classes. But its WAAAAAY over Trump's head.

If people were angry about inflation under Biden then they haven't see nothing yet. I don't want to hear their complaining and moaning about higher prices. They will get what they deserve by electing this Fascist.

Team you what, eventually this orange Cheetos will force Canada and Mexico to seek alternative markets. Guess who will likely fill the gap the US created? That’s right, Brics. *Shudder* Hey, it could happen!

Like the failed wall from "sea to shining sea" that "México was going to pay for," the reality is that the #republicans will be the first to back track on #tariffs because #USeconomy can't afford it. #Mexico has 13 #freetrade agreements with 50 countries. Backdoor through tariffs, anyone?

Seems like the only way people will realize this is a bad idea is to let it happen and see prices go up. The big question is will they blame Trump or will misinformation allow the blame to go to migrants, Democrats, Biden, etc.?

Knowing she is a woman and trump cannot handle strong women that say ‘no’to him his response will probably be something in the line of “Mexican president, she was so mean to me”
