She estimated that Trump’s first migration measures are similar to those of his first term (2017-2021).
“I will declare a national emergency at our southern border. All illegal entries will be immediately stopped and we will begin sending millions and millions of criminal foreigners back to where they came from,” insisted the new American president during his inauguration speech.
-“I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country,” he added.
The American president also confirmed his desire to impose customs duties of 25% on products coming from Canada and Mexico.
“We must stick to the decrees for the moment. That’s why I say you have to stay calm and keep a cool head, and take action step by step,” Claudia Sheinbaum said in response to a question.
Canada’s resigning Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised that his country will “fight back” strongly and quickly if the United States imposes tariffs on its Canadian imports.
