Mexico has warned Donald Trump on his tariff statement. President Claudia Sheinbaum said that if America increases tariff on Mexico, then they will also increase tariff in response. Sheinbaum has also reacted to Trump’s statement in which he claimed that the President of Mexico is ready to seal her border to stop migration to America. Sheinbaum said that he has no intention of sealing the border. Mexico’s Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard has also warned America of starting a regional trade war. He said that this step of America will be like shooting itself in the foot. This can lead to the loss of jobs of 4 lakh Americans. In fact, Trump had said two days ago that on the first day after taking oath as President, he will impose heavy tariff on goods coming to America from Canada, Mexico and China. Trump has said that until these three countries do not curb drugs and illegal immigrants, they will have to bear the brunt of heavy tariff imposed by America. Minister said – If tariff is imposed, it will harm the American economy
According to CNN, the automobile industry is a major contributor to Mexico’s economy. About 25% of the vehicles sold in America are made in Mexico. Increasing the tariff will increase the price of these vehicles in America. Mexico’s economy minister said that 88% of the pick-up trucks sold in America are made in Mexico itself. These are sold a lot in rural areas of America, from where Trump has received heavy votes. If Trump imposes tariff on goods coming from Mexico, then it can increase the price of vehicles by up to 3 thousand dollars. This will not only cause losses to American companies, but will also have a bad effect on the American economy. According to experts, the decision to increase tariffs can prove to be bad for American companies. They say that this tariff can have a big impact on the profits of ‘Detroit Three Automakers’. Detroit Three includes General Motors, Ford and Stellantis. These three are the largest car manufacturing companies in America. These companies make their vehicles in Mexico and sell them in America. Mexico will not seal the border to stop migration
There was a conversation between President Shinbaum and Donald Trump on Wednesday. After this, Trump said that President Shinbaum has agreed to close its borders to stop immigrants coming to America via Mexico. On this, Shinbaum said that Mexico’s intention is not to close the border but to build a bridge between the government and the people. Shinbaum said – We discussed Mexico’s strategy regarding migration. I told him that migrants are not coming from the northern border because they are stopped in Mexico itself. According to a report, there has been a huge decline in the number of immigrants entering the US from Mexico in the last few months. In December 2023, the number of these migrants was more than 2.5 lakh, but in August this number has come down to 58 thousand.
