The consequences of US customs duties on Mexican products will have a serious negative impact on the US economy, the President of Mexico Claudia Sheenbaum stated in the video message published in X.
"The 25% customs duties have consequences for both countries. They have extremely serious consequences for the US economy, as the cost of all the goods exported from Mexico will significantly rise, "said Sheenbaum. It also said that the damage from customs duties to Mexico would be significant. According to Sheenbaum, many companies present in the Mexican market will have to decide, leave or stay. "But there is not enough labor in the United States." Everything is more expensive there, "sheinbamination said.
He added that he is waiting for US President Donald Trump to set up a working group to resolve this issue through negotiations. . The document states that 25% customs duties are set for imports from Mexico and Canada (10% to Canadian energy resources). Extra customs duties are defined in the amount of 10% of goods from China.
According to Trump, this was done "due to the serious threat of illegal immigrants and a serious threat of deadly drugs" that kill US citizens.
