Tariffs will not stop US-bound migrants or drugs, Mexico tells Trump

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday that import tariffs proposed by President-elect Donald Trump will do nothing to stop US-bound undocumented migration or drug trafficking.

Trump said Monday he would impose a 25 percent tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada. Sheinbaum said cooperation and mutual understanding are required to address such issues and a tariff war would only put "common enterprises at risk.

" She pointed to carmakers such as General Motors and Ford operating in Mexico to the benefit of both countries.
