Ricardo Anaya asked the president to propose an effective strategy against Donald Trump's economic restrictions. Anaya rejected the claims made by Gerardo Fernández Noroña and asserted that the opposition is not sparing its support for the federal government. The PAN legislator stated that the opposition had warned that the arguments presented by the Mexican government would not convince Trump.
Anaya proposed to impose tariffs selectively on key U.S. states that heavily depend on the Mexican market, such as Texas and New Mexico. He believes this strategy would be more effective than speeches in the Constitution Plaza. Fernández Noroña interrupted Anaya, causing a confrontation in the Senate.
For her part, Claudia Sheinbaum announced that next Sunday she will present measures against the tariffs imposed by Trump. Emphasis was placed on defending Mexico's interests and the importance of cooperation with the United States without subordination. The imposition of tariffs was criticized as a risk to the USMCA.
Fernández Noroña called for national unity to confront the unilateral policies of the United States and criticized the opposition for being more focused on harming the government than on defending the interests of the country. The proposal for a meeting with the U.S. Congress was minimized, and popular support for Claudia Sheinbaum was highlighted. Anaya asked the federal government for an effective strategy against the tariffs from the United States.
