Mexican President Sinbaum said on Thursday local time that she had a "very friendly" phone call with usa elected President Trump and is confident about avoiding a trade war with usa.

Regarding Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on Mexican products, Sinbaum claimed at the press conference that there "will not be a potential tariff war."

Trump posted on Wednesday that he discussed immigration and drug issues with the Mexican president, and Sinbaum has agreed to stop illegal immigrants from crossing into usa. On the same day, Sinbaum also wrote on her social media account that Mexico assured that the migrant caravan would not reach the usa-Mexico border, and that the two countries would strengthen cooperation in controlling drugs.

But it is still unclear whether this is a commitment, a guarantee, or just a simple statement of reality. Since 2018, the scale of illegal immigration from Central America to usa has been continuously increasing. Some people from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador have gathered through social networks and other means to hitch rides and walk thousands of kilometers to the usa-Mexico border, seeking various ways to enter usa.

Sinbaum stated that she had already introduced to Trump Mexico's approach to immigration issues during the call, which respects the human rights of immigrants and properly addresses immigration issues before the migrant caravan arrives at the usa-Mexico border.

Sinbaum clarified that she does not agree to close the border. "Mexico's policy on immigration is not to close the border, but to bridge the government and the people. I can assure you that we have never proposed to close the northern border of Mexico."

She added that the two did not discuss tariffs, but the conversation with Trump convinced her that there is no need for a retaliatory tariff war in the future.

Sinhaum pointed out that Trump is very interested in addressing the issues of fentanyl addiction and trafficking. She also raised the issue of American-made weapons flowing into Mexico for drug cartels.

In response to the tariff issue, President Biden urged Trump on Thursday to reconsider his threat to impose comprehensive tariffs on the North American neighbors Canada and Mexico, warning that this could damage relations with these two closest allies of the usa.

"I hope he will reconsider. I believe this would backfire. We are surrounded by the pacific, atlantic china welding consumables,inc. and our two allies Mexico and Canada. The last thing we should do is damage these relationships."

Despite Sinhaum's apparent confidence, many Mexicans are concerned that the usa's tariffs could affect a large amount of Mexico's export products and threaten the entire region's economy.

In western Mexico, no crop provides as much income for numerous small-scale growers as avocados, with Mexico being the main supplier of avocados to the usa market. However, avocado growers, pickers, and packers are worried that, in the face of a 25% price increase, a large number of consumers in the usa might give up buying this commodity.

Earlier this week, Sinhaum warned that if Trump implements his proposed 25% comprehensive tariffs, Mexico would retaliate. The Mexican government warned that this move could lead to a loss of 0.4 million jobs in the usa and raise prices for American consumers.
