Talks between U.S. and Mexican officials continue this week, ahead of the day President Donald Trump’s tariffs are set to go into effect.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke to his counterpart in Mexico, foreign minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente, ahead of the tariff announcement.
According to the State Department, Rubio and de la Fuente discussed “actions to protect the U.S. automobile industry,” as well as border security and drug cartels.
In addition to an across-the-board tariff for goods from Mexico, Trump has announced he will also tariff cars made abroad. Mexico is home to many auto plants that make cars and trucks for U.S. auto manufacturers.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum also met with U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in Mexico City last Friday. Noem said in an interview with Fox News after the meeting that she’d asked Sheinbaum to share biometric data on migrants with the U.S.
Sheinbaum told reporters in response that Mexico doesn’t collect that kind of data.
During her meeting in Colombia the day before her meeting with Sheinbaum, Noem signed a memorandum of understanding to share more biometric data with that country.
