Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced plans to impose retaliation tariffs on US assets.

“There is no reason or reason, or justification that supports this decision that will affect our people and our nations,” said Sheinbaum. “We have said it in different ways: cooperation and coordination, yes; subordination and interventionism, no.”
