What is important to understand is that the day before Donald Trump publicly threatened that he was already considering the possibility of introducing 25% tariffs on Mexican goods.
The future head of the White House assured that he would make this decision if the country's authorities did not limit the flow of illegals and drugs to the States.
According to Claudia Scheinbaum, she is currently determined to hold negotiations on controversial issues.
Despite this, the politician drew Trump's attention to the fact that drugs are an American, not a Mexican, problem.
Neither threats nor tariffs will solve the problems of migration and drug use in the United States, the President of Mexico emphasized.
According to her, Mexico City has already taken measures to limit the flow of illegal and narcotic substances to the United States.
