The Trump Administration announced that it will be implementing a 30 percent tariff on all commercial goods that move north of the border. President Donald Trump took the punitive action due to Mexico’s failure to do enough against drug cartels

Despite the negative consequences that the tariffs could have on her country’s economy, Mexico’s President, Claudia Sheinbaum, is asking everyone to remain calm, claiming that she has experience in dealing with President Trump.

The announcement of the tariffs was made through a letter sent by President Trump to President Sheinbaum, notifying her of the tariffs set to take effect on August 1. In the letter, Trump acknowledged that Mexico has been assisting in securing the border.

“BUT, what Mexico has done is not enough,” the U.S. President wrote. “Mexico still has not stopped the Cartels, who are trying to turn all of North America into a narco-trafficking playground.”

During a morning news conference, Sheinbaum claimed that she had experience dealing with Trump and was confident that they would be able to come to a mutually beneficial agreement. Sheinbaum claimed that she had previously dealt with Trump and that both governments could reach an agreement.
