What are Dr. Hernandez’s views on Trump’s approach to communicating his tariff threat to Mexico?
## Interview with Dr. Maria Hernandez on Trump’s Tariffs Threat to Mexico
**Interviewer:** Dr. Hernandez, Donald Trump has made headlines again, this time threatening to impose heavy tariffs on Mexico unless they halt the flow of migrants and drugs across the border. What are your thoughts on this?
**Dr. Hernandez:** This is a deeply concerning development. Mr. Trump’s rhetoric and policies regarding Mexico have been consistently hostile throughout his career, and this latest threat reflects a continuation of that pattern. [1]
His claims about forcing Mexico to deploy soldiers during his previous tenure are misleading at best, and his characterization of migrants as “criminals” is blatantly dehumanizing and inaccurate.
**Interviewer:** But what about the economic impact of these potential tariffs? Mexico is the US’s primary supplier of goods.
**Dr. Hernandez:** That’s precisely why these threats are so alarming. [1] Increasing tariffs would not only harm Mexican industries and workers, but it would also significantly impact American consumers through higher prices.
Furthermore, disrupting this vital trade relationship would have ripple effects throughout the North American economy.
**Interviewer:** Trump mentioned contacting Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to issue this warning. What do you make of his approach?
**Dr. Hernandez:**
It’s incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional to issue such a blatant threat before even having a conversation with the Mexican President. [1] Such an approach does little to foster constructive dialog or build trust, which are essential for addressing complex border issues.
Ultimately, these threats solidify Mr. Trump’s commitment to using inflammatory rhetoric and isolationist tactics, which are ultimately detrimental to both the United States and Mexico.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for sharing your insights, Dr. Hernandez.
