Sheinbaum stated that she will reveal the list of targeted U.S. products on Sunday at a public event in Mexico City's central plaza, possibly signaling an effort to de-escalate the growing trade conflict.

Unlike Canada and China, Mexico has chosen to delay immediate countermeasures, though officials have indicated that a response plan has been in place since January.

Canada has already announced plans to impose tariffs on over $100 billion worth of American goods within the next 21 days.

“There is no motive, reason, or justification for this decision, which will harm both our people and our economies,” Sheinbaum said.

Trump’s tariffs on Mexico and Canada officially took effect on Tuesday, raising concerns about further trade retaliation from the U.S.'s closest North American partners.
