Latin American Leaders Unite Against US Tariffs

Published on 4.15.25

  The Community of Latin American and Caribbean States summit highlighted the need for unity among its leaders in the face of global tensions, with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasizing solidarity. This call to action comes as US President Donald Trump continues to impose tariffs on various countries, including Mexico. In a move that has sparked controversy, Trump's trade policies have led to resentment among trading partners and allies, who are seeking alternative trade options due to uncertainty under his administration. The 90-day tariff pause on Mexico may be extended or terminated, potentially re-imposing tariffs if no deal is negotiated with the US. Mexican President Sheinbaum also rejected the 'criminalization' of Latin American migrants, condemning the treatment of Venezuelan migrants through a video message by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
