MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Tuesday she would send a letter to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, urging dialogue and cooperation following his pledge of across-the-board tariffs of 25% on Mexico and Canada.
"To one tariff will come another and so on, until we put our common businesses at risk," Sheinbaum said during a regular press conference, warning that tariffs would cause inflation and job losses in both countries.
