In a decisive move to safeguard her country's economic interests, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has instructed her economy minister to enact tariff and non-tariff measures. The action comes as a counter-response to the United States' recent broad application of tariffs on Mexican exports.

The strategy was publicly revealed by Sheinbaum in a statement shared on the social media platform X, underscoring the escalating trade tensions between the neighboring countries.

As trade relations face increased strain, this announcement marks a significant step in efforts to defend national economic strength amidst shifting international trade policies.
