The National Conference of Governors, made up of state leaders from the 32 entities, expressed its rejection of the tariffs imposed by the United States government on Mexican exports. The governors believe that this measure will have a negative impact on the economies of both countries, affecting trade, investment, and employment in various sectors. They emphasize that the trade relationship between Mexico and the United States has been built on the integration of production chains and the free trade principles established in the T-MEC.

The Conago expresses its support for the Government of Mexico in the actions it takes to protect the productive sectors of the country and the workers and consumers of both nations. They highlight that Mexico is a strategic partner for the growth of North America and that unilateral measures like tariffs affect millions of families and businesses on both sides of the border. The governors reaffirm their commitment to the economic development of the entities and to the stability of the bilateral relationship with the United States.

According to information from news agencies, the tariffs will affect key sectors of the Mexican economy such as agriculture, automotive, and manufacturing. Furthermore, products such as beer, tequila, and basic food items will be directly impacted by the tariff measures. The governors have highlighted the importance of taking measures to mitigate the effects of this decision and strengthen the competitiveness of the Mexican economy.

For their part, legislators from Morena have spoken out against the tariffs imposed by the United States. They have expressed their support for the Government to defend the interests of the country against these unilateral measures. They believe that the tariffs will be a political and economic mistake for the United States and will be attentive to the decisions taken by the U.S. administration in this regard. Additionally, they support the decision to transfer 29 drug traffickers to the United States as part of international cooperation in security matters.
