Mexico: We are ready for Trump’s 25% tariff

Mexico doubts if Washington will enforce the 25 per cent tariff but stands prepared if it does, Mexican President, Claudia Sheinbaum, said.
“The truth is we do not believe that it will happen, but if it does happen, we also have our plan and we will present it then,” the Mexican president said at a regular press briefing.
Mexico’s Foreign Ministry, headed by Juan Ramon de la Fuente, is in talks with the U.S. government, she said.
On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said U.S. President Donald Trump still plans to apply a 25 per cent tariff on all imported products from Mexico and Canada starting on Saturday.
He said the tariff would be imposed unless both countries cooperate to resolve the problem of mass immigration and fentanyl trafficking.
