Summary

Tensions between Mexico and Canada have escalated amid Trump’s threat to impose 25% tariffs on both nations.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized Canada’s handling of border issues and claimed Canada “could only wish” for Mexico’s cultural riches, intensifying the feud.

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sought to highlight Canada’s border management compared to Mexico’s, while Mexican officials accused Canada of using Mexico as a political scapegoat.

Both nations continue efforts to persuade Trump to reverse the tariffs. Diplomatic relations remain strained as the dispute unfolds.

    The Spanish came, stole as much from the Aztecs, Maya and other peoples that they could, then founded Mexico.

    Then, for centuries, they did things like dig up graves to loot even more. And the people they subjugated are so poor and desperate that they’re often the ones looting their own ancestor’s graves on behalf of Mexico’s “cultural riches.”

    The U.S. has a lot of “cultural riches” from various indigenous groups too. They also didn’t generally donate them.
