Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed confidence in the country's ability to negotiate with the incoming US administration to avoid the proposed 25% tariffs by President-elect Donald Trump.

Speaking to reporters in Mexico City, Sheinbaum highlighted her recent phone conversation with Trump, emphasizing the potential for collaboration on issues such as migration and drug trafficking.

Sheinbaum reassured that Mexico has a contingency plan in place should tariffs be imposed but remains optimistic that such measures will not be necessary. She firmly stated that Mexico would not compromise its sovereignty in the negotiation process, aiming for a mutually beneficial agreement with the United States.
