Sheinbaum Defends New Tariffs on Chinese Imports, Citing Domestic Protection

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has publicly defended her administration’s controversial decision to implement new tariffs on Chinese imports, asserting the move is crucial for safeguarding Mexico’s domestic industries. Sheinbaum emphasized that these measures are not intended to provoke conflict with China, the world’s second-largest economy.
The President also clarified that Mexico’s newly aggressive trade posture is independent of ongoing negotiations with the United States. Her top trade official further estimated that the tariffs would impact less than 9% of total imports, aiming to mitigate broader economic disruption while prioritizing local manufacturing and economic stability.
