If she doesn't want tarrifs, keep the drugs out. Simple.

All of a sudden we have to be careful of what Mexico’s president has to say? We are the strongest economy and we’ve been put to the test. We can do with or without. Tariffs mean better competition and manufacturing jobs to increase here in the US; more jobs = more money being earned and spent within our economy. What a slap on our American face with her statement when they’re the ones supplying the drugs. Let’s stop the consumption and see how well their economy and politics do.

I'm proud of Mexico's new WOMAN president for speaking out against the orangutan's ? tariffs plan. How are tariffs going to solve the drugs flowing in? Do research on what a tariff is and you will find out it's not good.....

According to CNN and many of the comments here there is nothing the US can do to stop the invasion of millions of people from all over the world, including, many criminals, gangbangers, drug dealers and human traffickers, not to mention the 80K+ migrant kids missing in the US. Should we keep following the Biden plan???

Nothing is above drug cartels for #crookedclaudia?

Ya its no coincidence that the Country closest to the worlds largest drug producer and trafficker has a drug problem.

There are no tariffs that will stop the drug problem in the USA! They are also made in the USA by the billion dollar pharmaceutical industry and other nefarious individuals, ever watch Breaking Bad Donnie those labs are everywhere, defunding the DEA is not going to help the situation, defunding education isn't going to help ! Stop the problem at home also!!!

Mexico has been aiding & abetting illegal migrants/ drugs for years; it must stop. CNN context is: Abott & Hooman are right. Rpt. it All.. Thanks

Since MAGA and Trump think of problems in a very simple and child-like way. How about Americans just stop buying and using drugs. That would fix the problem.

If tariffs costs are not paid by the country they're placed on, then why would she care? It doesn't affect Mexico, it affects the US, so why not just say, go ahead you're not gonna hurt us in anyway and it's not gonna stop migrants or Americans from carrying drugs over the border. Trump needs to look at our laws if he wants to stop Americans from being drug mules..

She has China building EVs in Mexico. She wants to make money from China and Cartel drug sales. And now, the USA taxpayers to feed illegals. No thanks. I will pay tariffs.

Could you please tell Donald Trump to stop his crap because we have a problem in Canada with drugs , guns, and illegals entering Canada, not the other way around . The USA is the problem for Canada ?? not the other way around .

Maybe the u s a should stop being drug addicts

Mexico must take action to prevent the flood of illegal migrants and deadly drugs flowing through their country into the USA - Its War Then?!

So basically illegal drugs, and luxury agriculture foods will become more expensive for Americans? USA has the most, and most fertile farmland on the planet! Canada’s major import is natural gas, minerals, and Crude oil! I USA uses the policy of Drill, baby drill? USA does not need Canadian natural resources! China is machinery and appliances! Which other countries also make! So the price can be negotiated now with other countries! ?

Well, crack down on their borders stop allowing people to break into America control their drug trade or get tariffs.

America has an insatiable demand for drugs and cheap labor while having the audacity to blame everyone else for those problems. Mexico should shrug and let China build what it wants in response. Why leverage your economic future on an unstable US ally who flips personalities every election?

the Mexican President is Not in control of her country........... The transfer country of these Illegal Immigration and Drugs and all that mess...... Mexico is hosting the transport threw there borders for that Mexico is Responsible to curb the flow at its points if entry with in it own borders.... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Time to stop playing nice... With Mexico ....... Mexico is the number one security threat ....... Closest to the U.S.A. Wake up.....

Unfortunately Americans supply the guns consume the drugs & blame Mexico nice ?

Why doesn't Mexico have a drug problem??? thats my question.

Equation is simple. Stop the flow of undocumented immigrants and illegal drugs into the US. Secure the border. Fight the cartels. The drug issue is a shared responsibility and Mexico needs to step up. 75000 americans die from drug overdoses every year. Tariffs are a means to end the fentanyl epidemic

? they want more an cheaper drugs. THATS IT

It’s the Americans who buy and consume the drugs. Reduce the demand of a demented American public! Start there!

The biggest junky in the world isn't going to get weaned off drugs by imposing tariffs.

I don’t care about the drugs, or the economy. What I care about is the fact I won’t be going to prison or the electric chair because a man walked into a woman’s restroom where a female member of my family is in, and the fact that Trump is going to get rid of illegal criminals coming into America.

As a Canadian I think he's over-looking the drug crisis in B.C. and Ontario has one of the worst and corrupt provincial governments in Canada and Montreal has a pretty high Crime rate like Toronto. Plus Most of these provincial governments only think of the Main cities like Toronto for the Ontario Government and Montreal, Quebec City for Quebec. Plus Ottawa is now prone to Occupations and other major demonstrations due to the lack of Canadian people's care of health and safety.

Key word American drug consumption….

Stop drugs and illegal migration you little woman ? trump is right.

Tariffs will make demand higher. That will be taken up by more drug production in the states.

TIRED OF. DRUGS TRUMP,,,,,GET Your people to stop using drugs starting with his son in law and rich family and friends if he has any

If there was no demand there would be no supply. Fix the root problem. Americans are addicts be it food, drugs, porn, guns, mass shootings, conspiracy theories, being proud to be uneducated the list goes on and on.

Go to a center for drugs if you want them. The give them our liberaly in the cities. Stop world trade and lets build our own nation first. Not ukrain and China

Far more drugs, weapons and people are smuggled into Canada from the US than the other way around. I hope Canada stops being such a reliable neighbor. They send help after every hurricane, blizzard or forest fire at no cost to the US. I hope Canada stops helping.

100,000 Americans die every year from the fentanyl that comes out of Mexico, the precursor ms of which are subsidized by the Chinese communist party. This stopped being a simple drug problem a long time ago

Say no to drugs and illegal activity ?

So who were the Rapist, Drug Addicts, Criminals after all? \nDonald Trump and his Republican Cult or Undocumented Immigrants?

The Reagan war on drugs was such a success, I just don't understand why this is still an issue. certainly the orange man will solve it this time though!!

When prices go up on imported goods, U.S. companies will increase the price of domestically made goods to take advantage of the tariff. Also, demand for drugs in the U.S. comes from within, not Mexico.

Mexico need to call us Americans exactly what we are: dope fiends hooked on a product we know is killing us…..and the drug is stupidly laced with fentanyl ?‍♂️.

The U.S. is not an exemplary neighbor. U.S. has its own warts ... guns, drug use, etc.

Ok, label Mexico what it is, a Narco state and label the drug cartels terrorist organizations... see how she likes U.S. special forces operating in her country taking down the cartels.... we have played to nice with them over the last several decades while they've flooded our country with illegals and drugs.

The fastest way to get your ass kicked in Mexico is to blame Mexico for the drug problem in the United States. Because the Mexican people firmly believe, and this is 110% true, it is actually the drug addicts in America that destroyed Mexico. I used to live there and I know what I'm talking about - an instant argument will break out if you say anything about Mexico drowning America with drugs. Because it's like - what came first - the drugs or the drug addicts? Mexicans just can't figure that one out. Yeah, and this goes back a hundred years or more too.

Imagine thinking that tariffs will magically solve problems with cartels and drugs. Like oh wow, Trump knew the solution the whole time and nobody could figure it out for decades... but a reality TV B-lister knows the answer! It's like using Gatorade to water crops. We are on our way!

The largest % of drugs coming into the US are being brought in by Americans??Trump is a dope??There aren't waves of criminals coming in from our ally Canada FFS?

Just stop using drugs America and smuglers wont have a marked. As for insulin and Ozempic, stop eating at McDonald's America and you wont need it

Let's see how upset Trump voters will get once they understand their favorite drugs will go up in price too. America has a drugs, guns and no justice for all problem.

Under the WEAK Biden presidency, Mexico governments were not informed and there was no communication between the two to take actions to prevent illegals and drugs and allow illegals and drugs to enter America soil. Now we have Trump as our President and the whole world leaders are all ears and want to work with America to end world problems. Lets pray together God will protect Donald Trump and end WARS and make America great again. AMEN!

She making to much money leaving the border open shes probably part of drug trade. Why is she allowing china to ship ingredients there to make fetty?

Mexico must pay a heavy price for making America a dumping ground for DRUGS, CHILD \nTRAFFICKING, CRIMINALS etc

The US has spent trillions, maybe even tens of trillions of dollars to fight supply of illegal drugs. If you care about American lives, it's time to deal with the demand. Why is there such high demand for these drugs? Deal with that - and the supply dries up.
