Listen to this note:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The president Claudia Sheinbaum<\/a> has sent a letter to Donald Trump with figures related to the export and import of aluminum and steel, making it clear that Mexico i<\/span>imports much more of these steel materials than it exports and before any negotiation reiterated that <\/span>"The position will always be the same: coordination and collaboration without subordination, since sovereignty is not negotiable."<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday I sent a letter to the president with a graph showing the surplus that the United States has with Mexico in the case of steel and aluminum. The idea that President Trump has put forward about tariffs is because he says that the United States is in deficit. What do you mean by that? That it is importing more than it exports, but in the case of aluminum and steel, with Mexico it is the other way around, it exports more than it imports, so I am showing him this graph,\u201d the president said at her morning press conference.<\/span><\/p>\n

On February 9, Donald Trump announced the imposition of a 25 percent tariff on steel and aluminum entering the United States. This tax is for all countries and will take effect on March 12.<\/span><\/p>\n

If this were to happen, Nissan Mexico could move its production to another country, to which the president commented that the automotive company has a very large plant in Aguascalientes and would lose the national market if it moved, so it would not be viable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the subject of criminal groups, if they are declared terrorists, Sheinbaum said that she will expand the international lawsuit against arms manufacturers and distributors filed by Mexico, since it would be recognized that 75 percent of the weapons that enter the country come from the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

"We will never accept interference and meddling, we will always defend our sovereignty and we are working within that framework," said the president.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of people deported to Mexico from the United States, he reported that there is an international agreement; direct flights are made to return people to their country of origin such as Guatemala and El Salvador, since January 20, 13,455 people have been received, of which 10,485 are Mexicans and 2,970 are foreigners.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the question session, a case was presented of alleged companies that promise to carry out procedures to bring relatives of immigrants to the United States under a family unification program, taking away their documents and money; in response to this, the president said that she will place lawyers in Mexico and the United States in the consulates, to provide them with the necessary support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, Josefina Rodr\u00edguez Zamora, head of the Ministry of Tourism, reported that Mexico received 86.4 million international visitors in 2024, making Mexico the sixth most visited country in the world; tourism contributes 4.4 percent of the national GDP, in addition to this, 4.9 million direct jobs are generated.<\/span><\/p>\n

In light of this, he stressed that through the platform <\/span>VisitMexico.com<\/span><\/a>, users will be able to use a new tool that uses artificial intelligence to learn about Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is worth noting that the Mexico-United States Tourism Fair will also be held from April 28 to May 1 in Baja California: Rosario-Tijuana and in San Diego, California, there will also be the Taco Festival in that same American city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

President Sheinbaum concluded by dedicating this day of love and friendship to immigrants.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cToday, the day of love and friendship, we are going to dedicate it to all our migrant brothers and sisters, with all our love. We are a government that puts love above all else, and today our love is dedicated to all our Mexican brothers and sisters who are on the other side, working, supporting their families, helping their families in Mexico, and helping the United States economy,\u201d Sheinbaum said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He concluded with the phrase \u201cLong live migrants!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
