Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday sharply criticized U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose a 25% tariff on all imported goods from Canada and Mexico, calling the proposal a potentially disastrous distraction from meaningful solutions to drug trafficking and mass migration.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says that the incoming U.S. president’s plan to institute massive tariffs on Mexican imports would bring about mutually assured economic destruction.
