Trump Threatens Mexico With Tariffs Over Cartels

President Trump has reiterated his threat to impose a 30 percent tariff on Mexico, citing the country's alleged failure to curb drug cartels and the flow of fentanyl. He claims Mexican politicians are controlled by cartels, a statement Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum has refuted, highlighting her government's efforts to combat drug production and calling for U.S. action on weapon trafficking. Despite ongoing negotiations and a decrease in illegal border crossings, Trump maintains the tariffs will take effect August 1st unless Mexico takes further action.
