US President Donald Trump has decided to impose sweeping 25% tariffs on Mexican goods imported into the United States, upending the North American economic partnership. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has responded swiftly, labelling his decision as “offensive” and calling for supporters to demonstrate this Sunday in the name of national unity in the face of this attack. In the latest episode of Soberanía, co-hosts José Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth analyse the motives behind Trump’s move and the steps Mexico took to try to avoid the tariffs. Plus a look at Sheinbaum’s historic approval ratings; and in Losers and Haters we go after academics who can’t take any criticism and journalists who have lost all their credibility.
