Mexican President Fires Warning at Trump Over Tariff Threat
Breitbart ^ | 11/26/2024 | Ildefonso Ortiz and Brandon Darby

Posted on 11/26/2024 9:55:15 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum fired a warning at incoming U.S. President-elect Donald Trump over his threats to impose tariffs because of the ongoing immigration and drug trafficking issue.

“A tariff will be met with another tariff in response and so forth until we place common companies at risk,” Claudia Sheinbaum said during her morning news conference.

The comments were part of a letter that Sheinbaum read out loud and said she would be sending to Trump. The letter is in response to a series of comments made by the president-elect where he claimed that one of his first orders of business would be to impose high tariffs on Mexico over the ongoing border crisis and even higher tariffs on China over their failure to stop the production of fentanyl.

Trump has already outlined his plan. He’s stated he starts at 25%. If that doesn’t work he goes to 50% and if that doesn’t work, 75% and so on. Mexico will fall in line fairly quickly.

I hope he puts this ho in her place. Americans are supporting millions of her people. It’s time to send them home and everyone caught sending drugs into America should be executed and their bodies thrown in the Rio Grande immediately after capture. LET’S DO IT FOR AMERICA FOR ONCE!

Trump should tax remittances to Mexico while he’s at it.

They can then reciprocate by threatening to tax remittances to the US (heh heh).

79.6% of Mexican exports go to the USA. Mexico’s top ten GLOBAL exports are:

1. Vehicles: US$156.5 billion (26.4% of total exports)
2. Electrical machinery, equipment: $103.4 billion (17.4%)
3. Machinery including computers: $93.5 billion (15.8%)
4. Mineral fuels including oil: $32.6 billion (5.5%)
5. Optical, technical, medical apparatus: $27.3 billion (4.6%)
6. Furniture, bedding, lighting, signs, prefabricated buildings: $12.9 billion (2.2%)
7. Beverages, spirits, vinegar: $12 billion (2%)
8. Plastics, plastic articles: $11.7 billion (2%)
9. Vegetables: $9.94 billion (1.7%)
10. Articles of iron or steel: $9.87 billion (1.7%)

The top 10 exports accounted for 79.2% of the overall value of Mexican worldwide shipments.

Those top 10 total about $450 billion. 80% of that goes to the US or about $360 million.

While that’s a large number, it won’t take long for US companies to either in-source manufacturing or out-source to other countries. For reference, US GDP from domestic manufacturing in 2024 is $2.4 trillion.

If any Mexican government officials or politicians with influence are lurking on FR I can only tell you that the mood in America isn’t conducive to foreign governments talking back to Americans from a leftist perspective, especially ones run by criminals attacking America. Does Mexico want to get into a real p^ssing match with America? Americans are sooo done with the leaders of sh^thole countries grifting on our economy with unfair trade and migrant invasions whining and making veiled threats.

The new administration and a majority of Americans are in a mood to kick your teeth in, do you want to try us?

Nope, that’s her maiden name. 100% Jewish.

<< Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo was born on 24 June 1962 to a Mexican Jewish family in Mexico City.[10] Her paternal Ashkenazi grandparents emigrated from Lithuania to Mexico City in the 1920s. Her maternal Sephardic grandparents emigrated there from Sofia, Bulgaria, in the early 1940s to escape the Holocaust. >>

Yes.

Trump should ALSO charge ALL countries for ALL the legal costs of their citizens.. e.g. public defenders, as well as ALL of the associated costs of incarcerations.
