Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday that Mexico will respond to 25% tariffs imposed by the United States with its own retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. Unlike China and Canada, Mexico decided to wait until Sunday, though the country has said since January that it had a plan ready for precisely this scenario. The tariffs that had been threatened by President Donald Trump’sagainst Canada and Mexico went into effect Tuesday ratcheting up the risk of retaliations from the United States’ North American allies.

What is your take on Trump’s threats against other countries ?
