Mexico's President López Obrador on Trump's Tariffs: "Nobody Wins"
The President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, commented on the recent decisions made by former U.S. President Donald Trump regarding tariffs on Mexican goods. In his statement, López Obrador emphasized that such measures do not benefit either side. He insists that the imposition of tariffs only deteriorates economic relations between the two neighboring countries, undermining years of efforts to create closer trade ties with the U.S.
López Obrador pointed out that increasing tariffs on Mexican goods ultimately leads to higher prices for American consumers and adversely affects both economies. According to him, it is wiser to pursue a path of dialogue and mutual understanding to find more constructive and efficient solutions for joint development.
The President of Mexico called for cooperation and proposed ways to improve trade relations that could be beneficial for both nations. He explained that economic stability is important for both Mexico and the U.S. and that long-term solutions require joint efforts.
Earlier, Trump initiated various tariff measures against Mexico aimed at changing migration flows and protecting the American economy. These tariffs elicited mixed reactions and caused tensions between the two countries. In his speech, López Obrador also mentioned that such actions not only undermine trust but also harm both economies.
To improve the situation, the Mexican president proposed cooperation mechanisms that work for the benefit of both countries. He stressed that this strategy could be helpful in the face of new international economic challenges.
In conclusion, López Obrador called for a reassessment of such approaches and a focus on the positive and constructive aspects of bilateral relations, which become increasingly important every year.
