By Diego Oré MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Wednesday she does not believe the United States will impose tariffs on Saturday as President Donald Trump has pledged, but said her administration has its own response plan in place if needed.

We don’t think it’s going to happen really,” she said during her daily morning news conference on Wednesday, just days before Trump’s threatened tariffs might begin. “And if it happens, we also have our plan.

President Claudia Sheinbaum brushed off a question as to whether Mexico is expecting US President Donald Trump to announce 25% tariffs on Mexican goods Feb. 1.

Mexico's president on Wednesday said her nation is in dialogue with the White House and was confident that the 25% tariff isn't imminent.

President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, has publicly countered Trump's threats of mass deportations and tariffs. Will that hold come Jan. 20?
