Mexican president claims ‘no potential tariff war’ with US after call with Trump Claudia Sheinbaum said her "extremely kind" telephone discussion with Donald Trump, in which they examined movement and fentanyl, intends that "there won't be a potential duty battle" between the US and Mexico.
The leader of Mexico addressed journalists on Thursday following Trump's statement earlier in the week to apply a 25% levy against Mexico and Canada, and an extra 10% duty against China, when he gets to work in January if the nations didn't shut down all unlawful migration and fentanyl sneaking into the US.
Trump, in a post on Truth Social on Wednesday, guaranteed that during the call with Sheinbaum, she had "consented to stop Relocation through Mexico, and into the US, successfully shutting our Southern Line".
During her Thursday address, Sheinbaum explained she didn't consent to close down the line.
"Every individual has their approach to imparting," Sheinbaum said. "However, I can guarantee you, I promise you, that we never - also, we would be unequipped for doing as such - recommended that we close the boundary in the north [of Mexico], or in the south of the US. It has never been our thought and, obviously, we disagree with that."
She added that the two didn't talk about duties, yet that the discussion with Trump had consoled her that no blow-for-blow levy fight would be required from now on.
On Monday this week, Trump took steps to force a 25% percent levy on Mexico until drugs, including fentanyl, and undocumented foreigners "stop this Intrusion of our Country". He pronounced that Mexico and Canada ought to utilize their ability to address drug dealing and movement and, until they do, "it is the ideal opportunity for them to follow through on an exceptionally large cost!"
The next day, Sheinbaum recommended Mexico could fight back with duties of its own.
On Wednesday, be that as it may, the discussion between Sheinbaum and Trump was "exceptionally kind", the Mexican president said. She said she told Trump of the different relocation drives her administration has attempted, including giving assets and backing to focal American nations and to transients showing up in Mexico. Expected foreigners "won't arrive at the northern boundary, since Mexico has a methodology", Sheinbaum said.
Trump "perceived this work" by the Mexican government, Sheinbaum added.
She likewise said Trump communicated interest in the public authority-driven projects to address fentanyl fixation and excesses in Mexico. Furthermore, she raised the issue of American-made weapons entering Mexico from the US to be utilized by drug cartels.
Sheinbaum further added that she urged Trump to stop the barricades against Cuba and Venezuela, since "individuals endure and it prompts the peculiarity of movement".
Asked by a journalist from Drifter magazine that cited mysterious Trump-adjusted sources examining a "delicate intrusion" of Mexico by conveying the US military inside the country against drug dealing gatherings, Sheinbaum excused the thought, referring to it as "completely a film".
"What I base myself on is the discussion - the two discussions - that I had with President Trump, and afterward, right now, the correspondence we will have with his work group and when he gets down to business," Sheinbaum said. "We will continuously safeguard our power. Mexico is a free, free, sovereign nation - and that is above all the other things."
