Lopez-Obrador on US tariff threat
- We won't respond to any provocations, we will be prudent with the US
- Disputes must be resolved with dialogue, there is no point in coercive measures
- We are obliged to act with great prudence
- Should seek to exchange views with US and reach a deal over the tariff issue
- We will give this situation time, won't respond in a desperate way
- Orders foreign minister to travel to Washington
- I think Trump will understand that this is not the way to resolve things
- Asked if Mexico will make changes to migration policy, says they have already been making changes
What makes the tariff threat so tough to believe is that the US just lifted steel and aluminum tariffs on Mexico. Plus, here you have the Mexican President taking it all in stride. It makes me think that it's all just theater.
...but it's Trump so you never know.
