In response to the 25% tariffs recently imposed by the United States, President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Tuesday that Mexico will implement its own retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods.
he specific products targeted by the new measures will be revealed on Sunday at a public event held in Mexico City’s central plaza.
Addressing the decision, Sheinbaum stated, “There is no motive or reason, nor justification that supports this decision that will affect our people and our nations.” Her remarks suggest that while Mexico is taking a firm stance against the U.S. tariff regime, the country may also be seeking ways to de-escalate the broader trade dispute initiated by President Donald Trump.
The move comes as tensions between the two nations continue to simmer over trade policies. By announcing its intent to impose retaliatory tariffs, Mexico aims to protect its economic interests and signal its dissatisfaction with the U.S. measures. However, the public nature of the announcement and the planned disclosure of targeted products indicate a potentially measured approach, balancing economic defense with efforts to avoid further escalation.
As the situation develops, market analysts and trade experts will be watching closely for signs of how these tariffs might affect bilateral trade flows between Mexico and the United States.
