Mexico could retaliate against US tariffs, says its president
PRESIDENT Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico could retaliate with its own tariffs on Tuesday, after US President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose 25 per cent import duties on Mexican goods.
Mr Trump said he was making the threat to force Mexico to stop drugs and migrants from flowing across the border.
Ms Sheinbaum said she was willing to engage in talks on the issues, but drugs were a US problem.
