After President Trump\u2019s executive orders imposing heavy tariffs, Canada and Mexico responded with countermeasures. Canada announced a 25% tariff on $155 billion worth of U.S. goods, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warning that these actions would have real consequences for Americans. Mexico, under President Claudia Sheinbaum, also prepared retaliation plans, emphasizing the defense of its sovereignty. <\/p>\n
Both countries rejected U.S. claims linking them to criminal organizations, with Sheinbaum criticizing the U.S. approach to the fentanyl crisis. These retaliatory measures reflect the growing tension between the U.S. and its neighbors, following Trump\u2019s trade actions aimed at China, Canada, and Mexico, which saw import duties raised to 25% for the latter two.
