Hear Mexican president’s response to Trump’s tariff threat

President-elect Donald Trump promised to put a new 25% tariff on all products coming from Mexico and Canada, as well as raise tariffs on Chinese-made goods by 10%, on the first day of his administration in an effort to retaliate for illegal immigration and drugs coming across the border. CNN’s Rosa Flores reports on the reaction from Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum. #CNN #News

This country is about to get a lesson in how the global economy works.

[allaboutNDIRISH]

The fun part will come when Mexico and Canada turn to China to fill the opening in trade and just X the US out of the entire convo. Then we’re truly fucked.

[USERMEX]

What foolish reasoning to believe that tariffs on imports will correct the drug addiction of a society overwhelmed by income inequality, inflation, unemployment, debt and poor education.

[kennethmardis]

The problem with drugs, Americans love drugs.

[Hugo-pyce]

Mexico is not central America, its north America. Get that straight!

[MrBENTON]

26% don't understand what tariffs do. Look at their comments. They think prices won't increase.

[rmoreau]

Too bad my Canadian politicians don’t have the balls to speak the truth like she does

[stantonfriedman]

79% of people want lower prices but they voted for someone that's gonna raise prices .hmmm

[gregorylang]

If there wasn't a demand for drugs in the U.S. there wouldn't be a problem.

[TheDrew]

When prices go up on imported goods, U.S. companies will increase the price of domestically made goods to take advantage of the tariff. Also, demand for drugs in the U.S. comes from within, not Mexico.

The letter has more content, I invite everyone to read the whole letter. The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum also talks about the illegal weapons that are being shipped to Mexico from the USA, 70% of those weapons are manufactured in the USA. Let’s remember that violence is a huge cause of why people migrate, people don’t want to leave their country of origin, the want to be safe. So, Mr. Trump, consider your country’s illegal actions before speaking.

KUDOS President Sheinbaum, stand your ground.

[charrio]

The Mexico president said Bring it on! As will the others he threatened! Dont care what happens to Dump

[pureounce.]

my grandma used to tell us "if you don't hear, you must feel" - this is exactly what she meant.

[lstimbert]

I am so proud of the Mexican President. Finally someone in power, as his equal is going to step up to this wanna be king. She is strong. Si se puede!!!

[jilll]

Tell me again how women aren't tough enough to run a country 🙄

[roban]

The US has spent trillions, maybe even tens of trillions of dollars to fight supply of illegal drugs. If you care about American lives, it's time to deal with the demand. Why is there such high demand for these drugs? Deal with that - and the supply dries up.

[superandroid]

as if tariffs are gonna make drug addicts go clean.

[avlandscaping]

The stupidity of my fellow Americans who voted for this absolute garbage is completely beyond me

[bearlineproductions]

He's about to be school by a real presidente.
