MEXICO CITY, MEXICO (Fidencio Casillas, Energy Analytics Institute, 4.Mar.2025) — Mexico’s president Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo plans to announce tariff and non-tariff actions Mexico will carry out in response to the unilateral decision of US president Donald Trump to impose 25% tariffs on Mexican exports, despite the existence of a trade agreement between the US and Mexico.

“I call Mexicans to an informative assembly in the Zócalo of Mexico City next Sunday at 12:00 [9 Mar. 2025], to share with them the actions we will take. And face this challenge together. Proudly, we are a free, independent and sovereign country. Together we will get ahead,” Sheinbaum said 4 Mar. 2025 during her mañanera or daily morning conference with the media.
