President Claudia Sheinbaum met with the Business Coordinating Council (CCE) to review the progress of the Mexico Plan in the context of the new tariffs announced by Trump. The meeting became particularly relevant to evaluate response strategies and mitigate possible impacts on the Mexican economy.
Notable attendees included Marcelo Ebrard, Secretary of Economy, and Rosa Icela Rodríguez, Secretary of the Interior, as well as Altagracia Gómez, government liaison with the private sector. The agreed objective between business leaders and the government was to continue working together to ensure economic stability and strengthen the country's competitiveness.
The Mexico Plan, presented on January 13, aims to strengthen investment and national consumption in strategic sectors. In light of the possible implementation of tariffs, concrete measures will be debated to counteract their impact on various industries, given that the trade relationship between Mexico and the United States is fundamental to the national economy.
The meeting between President Sheinbaum and the CCE was held in response to Donald Trump's announcement regarding the imposition of a 25% tariff on Mexican products. Sheinbaum informed about the meeting through her social media and shared a photograph featuring representatives from the business sector and key members of her cabinet.
In the coming days, new measures are expected to be announced to address the situation, demonstrating the importance of maintaining dialogue between Sheinbaum's government, the business sector, and U.S. authorities in seeking to maintain economic and commercial stability.
