US President-Elect Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico, Canada, and China on his first day in office but Mexico’s government is unbowed. In this week’s episode, co-hosts José Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth discuss President Sheinbaum’s reaction and the possible fallout from Trump’s proposal. Plus a conversation about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s deceitful, double-faced approach to Mexico-Canada relations; as well as a look at Sheinbaum’s efforts to ensure water is treated as a human right. We also celebrate the Mexican Congress’ warm embrace of Palestine’s ambassador to Mexico.
