She offered to talk about the issues and said she hoped both her administration and the incoming Trump administration could meet soon.

Sheinbaum, Mexico's first female president, added she would also seek a call with Trump and send a letter to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Creating this behavior is the whole point of the tariff bluster.

Of course she will talk to Trump.  That was never in doubt.  That's what heads of states do.  But Mexico has not "fallen into line."

"Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has clapped back at President-elect Trump’s proposed 25% tariff on imported goods from Mexico, saying she would impose tariffs of her own on the U.S. and suggested it could lead to a tit-for-tat trade war between the countries as well as more inflation."

I guess threatening to retaliate is falling into line?

If Trump's policies lead to inflation; he'll blame it on the alleged mess he inherited.

Trump is like a spoiled toddler. If he's not the center of attention; he throws a temper tantrum and threatens everyone.

Yeah lots of good communication has taken place between Biden and Mexican leadership as the people, drugs, cartel has flowed basically unfettered the past few years. 🤣 Of course Mexico is going to be pissed that we want to quit taking the people they don’t want while cracking down on the cartels that pump so much money into their country.

He’s using the threat of tariffs as a bargaining chip to get the attention of Mexican government to come to the table and figure this shit out, whereas Biden openly welcomed them to come.

Mexico's President may have some complaints to raise as well, such as US guns flooding the country.

Sounds like it’s in the best interest for them to figure it out then. Weird we didn’t hear about these gun issues when Biden was letting a few hundred thousand a month in. And Mexicans don’t do drugs? Ok.

We heard about it. It's kind of obvious you get your news from right wing sources. Been there.

"Although Mexico is a major trafficking hub for the highly potent synthetic opioid, it has so far avoided a consumption epidemic within its own borders."

"Mexico is far less predisposed than the United States to a fentanyl epidemic, some health officials and experts say, because it does not have the same history of prescription pain medication abuse and heroin consumption."
