Mexico's President Claudia Symbaum announced on Monday to prevent the Trump administration's plan to impose 25 % tariffs on Mexico products for a wide range of rescue. Initially, the tariff was one month late because it was set to be enforced in the midnight stroke.
“We will work this month to convince each other that this is the best way in the future,” said Simbaum at a regular news conference after talking to President Trump. She suggested that she could completely control the penalties, and said she told the American counter part: Good results for your people, good results for Mexico people. “
The announcement was regarded as a victory for the Mexican government to deal with Mr. Trump, who set a new aggressive voice in the first few weeks of the presidential position. He demanded that even some of the closest ally in the United States would be tolerated to his demands, or maybe he would face tariffs or, perhaps in the form of military power.
However, this contract will not only continue recent progress, but will also be an important 30 -day test that needs to move further on the two permanent issues in Japan, the two permanent issues in Japan.
Under the conditions of the contract, Mexico will post 10,000 Mexican national guards on the border. In return, Symbaum stated that the US government would work to stop the flow of weapons to Mexico.
In his own statement, Trump did not mention the promise of helping to suppress firearm trafficking, but he celebrated the Mexican army.
Mexico has strengthened immigration execution for the past year, which has already contributed to dramatic reductions in US border intersections, but the problem of drug trafficking is much more complicated. Former Minister of Economy, Idefon -Gohald, negotiated with the first Trump administration, “very clear and very clear planning,” said Mexico.
Mr. Trump and Thomas Homan, the government of the administration, have repeatedly responsible for Mexico's cartels and immigrants in the US overdose crisis in the United States. Homan mistakenly told Fox News that Mexico's cartel killed 150,000 Americans with Fentanil.
Since 2019, Mexico has expanded China to the United States as Fentanill's largest supplier. In addition to being very powerful, this medicine can be made very easily. In addition, it will be easier to smuggle under the clothing and in a compartment with gloves under clothing. According to US prosecutors, Cartel in Cinarois spent only $ 800 on chemicals and produce a kilogram of a maximum of $ 640,000 in the United States.
Mexico has recently been a source of almost all the sources of Fentanyl, which has been seized by US law executive organizations, and has increased 10 times over the past five years. However, the federal government's data indicates that it is not immigrant but by American citizens adopted by the cartel organization. More than 80 % of those who were declared in Fentanyl's personal trading at the southern border are US citizens.
According to Mexico City-based security analyst, JAimelópez-Aranda:
Symbaum's administration has been strengthening his efforts to fight Fentanyl since he took office in October and has been fighting Fentanyl. The security forces regularly report the progress of the arrest and demolished drug production lab.
However, experts are wondering how much of these efforts represent. “Mexico can continue to perform symbolic actions as we have recently done,” Lopez Alanda said.
According to analysts, a complete war in the cartel can cause more violence waves throughout Mexico. The country has previously experienced these results.
In 2006, President Felipecal Delon declared a war with a criminal group. The idea was to eradicate them and loosen their grip to the country. However, when he targeted the cartel leader and engaged in direct conflicts, these groups divided into more violent and brutal cells, leading to one of the most bloody periods of Mexico.
“What will happen after all the labs will happen?” Guamedo said. “These people only focus on forced, theft, and killing. Mexico is left only for dealing with problems.”
Under the agreement announced on Monday, Mexico will strengthen security forces on borders. Unlike the United States, Mexico has no specific security forces that concentrate on patroling borders, and instead depends on the combination of the military and the National Security Corps.
Experts questioned Fentanil how effective the deployment of 10,000 additional units was to provide Mexico's promised results.
“Probably 10,000 members sound as many, but it's all detailed,” said Cecilia Falfan Mendes, a drug researcher in UC San Diego, a drug researcher. 。 “If you are just on the border, we do not deal with the entire Fentanyl production chain.”
Aaron Reihilin Mernic, a senior fellow of the US Immigration Council, pointed out that this is the third time in six years that Mexico has promised to dispatch a large -scale development of the National Security Corps on the US border.
Mexico -based security analyst Jonathan Maza says that Mexico's army is “trying to achieve results at all costs”, but more effective strategies are to stop the flow of drugs. Is to share the information.
The lack of cooperation was that American officials complained during the management of Andre Manuel Lopez Oblador, the predecessor of Ms. Symbaum.
Maza said that the National Guard could achieve results in a short and medium term in consideration of the importance of Mexico to avoid tariffs. But he warned, the criminal group is likely to adapt.
With the migration and illegal intersections at the border, Mexico may take some effective measures last year and take a path to a simpler success.
The National Security Army was deployed in immigration checkpoints from north to south, and immigrants have also established a “decompression” policy in which immigrants take a bus from the northern southern part of the area to reduce pressure from the border. Mexican authorities have used buses for many years, but the expansion in 2024 emphasized the national strengthening policy on migration.
The dissolution of immigration caravan heading to the United States is another step that Mexico officials have recently taken. When several people appeared a few weeks before Mr. Trump took office, they all broke up.
Mexico's harsher stance has essentially hindered an unwritten immigrant from being exiled at the border last summer with the presidential order of President Joseph R. Videen Jr. Contributed to the dramatic decrease in illegal immigrants. The patrol representative recorded only 47,326 illegal intersections. This is a sudden decline from the records 249,740 recorded a year ago.
Mexican authorities have also introduced bureaucratic hurdles for immigrants and exile.
“Mexico's strategy has run out of immigration and worn,” said Mauro Perez Bravo, the former director of the National Institute of Immigration, which evaluates the immigration policy of the country. “What we did was emotionally and physical discharging people to prevent people from reaching the United States.”
In exchange for Fentanil and immigration to the United States, Symbaum said that he had secured Trump's agreement to prevent American firearms from entering Mexico.
“These powerful weapons that illegally armed crime groups and gave thermal power,” she said.
This is not the first time that Mexico has discussed it.
In 2021, the country appealed for several gunmakers and one distributor, accusing the catastrophic bloodshed for decades, struggling to recover Mexico. The US Supreme Court decides this year whether Mexico may sue US gun manufacturers. Recent analysis has shown that about 9,000 gun dealers are operated in cities in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas.
However, his own remarks did not mention anything about Simbaum's request. It is unknown if his administration can actually fulfill such a commitment, and if Mexico fails to do so.
