Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has ordered retaliatory tariff measures against the US in response to new duties imposed by US President Donald Trump. The tariffs are aimed at defending Mexico’s interests, which she claims do not include confrontation but rather collaboration and dialogue. Mexico has taken significant steps to combat fentanyl trafficking, including seizing 20 million doses of the synthetic opioid since Sheinbaum took office in October. However, Trump claims the move is due to Mexico’s failure to stop fentanyl from entering the US and uncontrolled migration.
