His move sent shock waves through both nations, whose leaders have warned that the tariffs will harm all three countries and disrupt their deeply interwoven economies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On his first day in office, Mr. Trump had vowed to impose punitive tariffs on Mexican and Canadian exports on Feb. 1, to force the two countries to better secure their borders against the flow of undocumented migrants and drugs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The tariffs target the United States\u2019 closest neighbors and key trading partners. Mexico became the United States\u2019 largest trading partner <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/foreign-trade\/statistics\/highlights\/topyr.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">last year<\/a>, exporting a variety of goods, including automobiles and avocados, while Canada is the largest foreign supplier of crude oil to the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mexican officials have criticized the tariffs, arguing that they will not only harm Mexico\u2019s economy, but will also hurt U.S. companies that have production plants in Mexico, including General Motors and Ford. American consumers are also likely to see higher prices for fruits, vegetables and other products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico said on Friday that the country was \u201cprepared for any scenario.\u201d She has suggested that Mexico could retaliate with tariffs of its own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Here is what to know about the tariffs:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-65b64cae\">Why is Trump imposing tariffs on Mexico?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump placed Mexico and the U.S. southern border at the center of his presidential campaign, railing against record levels of undocumented immigrants entering the United States, as well as the movement of fentanyl into the country. (Border crossings are currently at significantly lower than the record levels in 2023.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump accused Mexico of allowing a \u201cmass migration invasion\u201d into the United States, claiming that this had brought \u201ccrime, and drugs,\u201d crushed wages and overwhelmed school systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is not the first time Mr. Trump has used tariffs as a strategy to achieve policy objectives involving immigration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">During his first term, he threatened to impose taxes on Mexican products to pressure the country\u2019s president at the time, Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"> <\/strong>Obrador, into cracking down on migration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As a result, Mexico deployed National Guard officers across the country to take on illegal immigration and agreed to the expansion of a program that allowed migrants seeking asylum in the United States to remain in Mexico while their legal cases proceeded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-39c8b685\">What has Mexico done to counter the flow of immigrants over the U.S. border?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mexico has significantly increased immigration enforcement in recent years, particularly during the Biden administration. It has added hundreds of immigration checkpoints across the country, including along once-deserted sections of the border, conducted inspections on commercial bus routes and drastically increased <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/03\/26\/world\/americas\/mexico-biden-migration-border.html\" title=\"\">detentions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">To deter people from reaching border cities like Tijuana, a top migrant entry point near San Diego, Mexican authorities raided hotels and safe houses, increased security at official crossings and installed new border checkpoints where migrants were passing through a gap in a wall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mexico also moved migrants away from the border, using chartered flights and buses to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/05\/14\/world\/americas\/mexico-migrants-busing-border.html\" title=\"\">drop large numbers<\/a> of people in southern cities like Villahermosa. The strategy contributed to a plunge in apprehensions of people trying to cross along the southern border at the start of last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The government also introduced <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/07\/09\/world\/americas\/border-mexico-us-migrants.html\" title=\"\">bureaucratic obstacles<\/a> for migrants trying to make it to the United States. At one point, it stopped issuing documents that allowed migrants and refugees to stay in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, alluded to these actions this past week when she said the Trump administration had seen <em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">\u201c<\/em>a historic level of cooperation from Mexico\u201d on border security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-443b9075\">What has Mexico done to control the trafficking of fentanyl?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Sheinbaum has taken a far tougher line than her predecessor in cracking down on the criminal groups involved in the fentanyl trade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. L\u00f3pez<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"> <\/strong>Obrador prioritized tackling the social and economic root causes of drug crime over enforcement actions. But during Ms. Sheinbaum\u2019s first four months in office, Mexican security forces have conducted major seizures of fentanyl and stepped up operations to locate and destroy clandestine fentanyl laboratories. Security forces have also targeted <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elfinanciero.com.mx\/mundo\/2024\/11\/17\/cartel-de-sinaloa-en-espana-detienen-a-14-integrantes-por-secuestro\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">key members<\/a> of the Sinaloa cartel, the powerful criminal organization largely responsible for the fentanyl pouring over the southern border.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In December, Mexican security forces seized more than a ton of fentanyl, the equivalent of more than 20 million doses of fentanyl pills, in what Ms. Sheinbaum described as \u201cthe largest mass seizure of fentanyl pills ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mexico\u2019s security minister, Omar Garc\u00eda Harfuch, announced this past week that since Ms. Sheinbaum took office on Oct. 1, more than 10,000 people had been arrested on serious criminal charges, including homicide. Mexican authorities also have seized 90 tons of drugs, including more than 1.3 tons of fentanyl, and destroyed more than 139 laboratories, Mr. Garcia Harfuch said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some of the most decisive efforts to curb rampant violence have focused on the state of Sinaloa, where rival factions of the Sinaloa cartel have turned the state into a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/08\/world\/americas\/mexico-sinaloa-cartel-war.html\" title=\"\">war zone<\/a> after Ismael \u201cEl Mayo\u201d Zambada Garcia, a top leader of the cartel, was lured onto a plane under false pretenses and sent to the United States, where he is under indictment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Though there is no evidence that these enforcement actions have made a significant dent in the Sinaloa cartel\u2019s production abilities, analysts say that it has sent a clear message about Mexico\u2019s commitment to make good on Mr. Trump\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere are thousands of clandestine fentanyl kitchens in Sinaloa alone, and the drug is so immensely profitable the cartel is not just going to hand it over to the authorities,\u201d said Eduardo Guerrero, a Mexican security analyst.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBut the important thing was to show that Mexico is working harder and faster and making good in this promise to produce results,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mexico has also recently passed a constitutional reform to prohibit the production, distribution and sale of chemical precursors needed to manufacture fentanyl. It has also increased laws around offenses related to fentanyl.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-1bef0582\">What has Mexico told Mr. Trump about its efforts?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After Mr. Trump\u2019s victory, Ms. Sheinbaum said he should consider what Mexico has done to curb the flow of fentanyl and illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a letter to Mr. Trump, Ms. Sheinbaum said a \u201ccomprehensive\u201d migration policy to care for migrants arriving in Mexico from different countries and seeking to reach the United States had led to a 75 percent drop in encounters along the United States-Mexico border from December 2023 to November 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Half of the migrants who arrived in the United States entered with a legal appointment to claim asylum since the United States introduced an app that allowed migrants to make those appointments, she added. (The Trump administration has shut down the app-based entry program.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cFor these reasons, migrant caravans no longer arrive at the border,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Sheinbaum, in the same letter, reiterated Mexico\u2019s \u201cwillingness to prevent the fentanyl epidemic\u201d from continuing to take a toll in the United States, and highlighted enforcement actions that resulted in the seizure of tons of synthetic drugs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
