“Last month, President-elect Trump stated that if Mexico failed to stem the tide of migrants and drugs coming into the United States, he would impose a 25 percent tariff on Mexican goods imported into the United States. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded that if Trump followed through with his tariff threat, Mexico would respond with a 25 percent tariff on U.S. goods coming into Mexico. While predictable, Sheinbaum’s response to Trump’s blackmail is a bad one. What she should do instead is take the following three steps: 1. Legalize all drugs in Mexico. … 2. Do not impose tariffs on American imports even if Trump follows through with his 25 percent tariff threat and blackmail. … 3. Do not enforce or support the U.S. government’s immigration policy.” (12/11/24)
