Arkansas nurse charged with using dead patient’s name in attempt to purchase hundreds of oxycodone pills

0

A nurse in Arkansas is facing felony charges after allegedly using a dead man’s name when attempting to purchase oxycodone pills at pharmacies.

Caitlin Carol Adams was charged with three counts of fraud or deceit to procure a narcotic drug-forged prescription in connection with multiple drug purchases last month, according to KAIT.

Adams is accused of using a fake prescription to purchase 120 oxycodone pills at a pharmacy in Jonesboro, Arkansas, on Jan. 2, the outlet reported.

She claimed she worked at a nursing home and that the pills were for a patient.

Investigators said Adams, who is a licensed registered nurse according to the Arkansas State Board of Nursing, used a credit card with her name on it to buy the pills.

“After looking into the prescription, an employee of the pharmacy contacted the nursing home in question, and they stated that Caitlin Adams was fired on Jan. 1,” investigators said in the affidavit, KAIT reported.

Adams returned to the same pharmacy on Jan. 6 with another prescription for 180 oxycodone pills, according to investigators.

The prescription was under a man’s name who was later determined to have been a patient at the same nursing home where Adams previously worked, the affidavit said.

The man whose name was on the prescription had also been dead since Dec. 30.

The pharmacy refused to fill the prescription for Adams.

She was arrested on Jan. 24 and booked into the Craighead County Detention Center. Adams was released on a $25,000 bond awaiting arraignment on March 20.

Adams’ license is under investigation.

Trump Tariffs Threaten to Upend Global Economic Order

0

President Trump’s move this weekend to slap sweeping tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China is threatening to fracture the global trading system and a world economic order that once revolved around a U.S. economy that prized open investment and free markets.

The speed and scope of the import duties that Mr. Trump unveiled in executive orders on Saturday prompted widespread criticism from many lawmakers, economists and business groups, who assailed the actions as economic malpractice. They warned that the tariffs, which were levied in response to Mr. Trump’s concerns about fentanyl smuggling and illegal immigration, could inflame inflation, cripple American industries and make China an even more powerful global trade hub.

Mr. Trump on Sunday defended the tariffs while acknowledging that there could be some negative consequences.

“WILL THERE BE SOME PAIN? YES, MAYBE (AND MAYBE NOT!),” he wrote on social media.

The executive orders mean that on Tuesday at 12:01 a.m., all goods imported from Canada and Mexico will be subject to a 25 percent tariff, except Canadian energy products, which will face a 10 percent tariff. All Chinese goods will also face a 10 percent tariff.

Canada and Mexico have vowed to retaliate swiftly with tariffs of their own, and China said it would pursue unspecified “countermeasures” to safeguard its interests.

Speaking on NewsNation on Sunday, Mr. Trump’s senior trade adviser, Peter Navarro, said it was unlikely that the tariffs would be stopped at the last minute.

“The magnitude of this particular problem is huge,” Mr. Navarro said, pointing to drugs entering the United States and killing Americans. “It’s time to stop the carnage.”

Although Mr. Trump’s tariffs were clearly telegraphed for months, they were broader than many analysts expected. The president’s top economic aides, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, have defended the use of tariffs, but have suggested that they would be used as a tool for negotiations or that they should be phased in gradually to allow businesses time to adjust.

“The tariff gun will always be loaded and on the table but rarely discharged,” Mr. Bessent wrote in a letter to partners of his hedge fund Key Square Group last year.

But Mr. Trump did not hesitate to use tariffs as a weapon against America’s largest trading partners, imposing sweeping levies that will hit everything from auto parts to avocados.

Economists said the pain of an escalating trade war could come in the form of slower economic growth and higher prices.

“The resulting surge in U.S. inflation from these tariffs and other future measures is going to come even faster and be larger than we initially expected,” said Paul Ashworth, the senior economist for North America at Capital Economics.

Mr. Trump is using a rarely deployed national security law, known as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, to legally justify imposing tariffs on countries that have trade agreements with the United States.

During his first term, Mr. Trump pushed for a rewrite of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which he had criticized as the “worst” trade deal ever, and ultimately signed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. He also reached a trade deal with China that required Beijing to purchase a certain level of products from the United States. Those promises have not been met.

Mr. Trump’s legal rationale for the tariffs is likely to be challenged in American courts. It could also dissuade other countries from negotiating trade pacts with the United States out of fear that the president could arbitrarily scrap them by using his emergency powers.

“If the president can with the stroke of a pen and for no good reason completely upend a North American supply chain that has been in place for more than 30 years, why would a foreign government be willing to expend all the political capital needed to enter into a trade agreement?” said Scott Lincicome, the vice president for economics and trade at the Cato Institute, which supports free trade.

Mr. Lincicome added that the cloud of uncertainty that the United States was casting over international commerce only stood to benefit China, which Republicans and Democrats largely view as an economic adversary.

Mr. Trump has already threatened to impose a universal tariff on all imports, along with additional levies on the European Union. Those moves could encourage more countries to deepen economic ties with China. While the tariffs could sting China’s already soft economy, the disruption to the U.S. supply chains and Mr. Trump’s plans to back away from investments in clean energy and electric vehicles could ultimately benefit the world’s second-largest economy.

“Beijing has long looked for ways to drive wedges between the United States and its allies, and tariffs on America’s closest partners make this much easier,” said Jonas Nahm, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and a former industrial policy economist in the Biden administration.

Congress, in theory, could try to take action to override the tariffs, but there does not appear to be the political will for such an effort.

Democrats, who also tend to embrace protectionist trade measures, criticized Mr. Trump’s actions as reckless but have little influence because they are in the minority in Congress. Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, said that “it would be nice if Donald Trump could start focusing on getting the prices down instead of making them go up.”

Most Republican lawmakers, who traditionally have deep concerns about tariffs, were silent or appeared to fall in line with Mr. Trump. Among the few dissenters was Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky.

“Conservatives once united against new taxes,” Mr. Paul wrote on social media. “Taxing trade will mean less trade and higher prices.”

Representative Don Bacon of Nebraska, who represents a district won by Kamala Harris last year and remains one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the House, also voiced skepticism of the policy. He said he was confused about using tariffs to negotiate a better trade deal with Canada.

“We already had a trade agreement and it was a good trade agreement,” he said on CNN. “It’s hard for me to square that circle. We’ll see what the impacts are over the next couple of weeks, maybe it’s a chance to maybe rethink we’re at that point.”

Mr. Bacon did not criticize Mr. Trump outright, but he tried to offer some carefully worded advice. “I would suggest focusing on China and Russia,” he said.

The pushback from major industry groups that have been bracing for the tariffs has been less restrained. U.S. spirits, cars and farm products are all ripe targets for retaliation from Canada, Mexico and China, and retaliatory tariffs could deal a blow to the U.S. economy.

Big lobbying groups urged the Trump administration to consider other ways to address border and fentanyl concerns and warned that tariffs would only harm American workers and businesses.

“Ultimately, manufacturers will bear the brunt of these tariffs, undermining our ability to sell our products at a competitive price and putting American jobs at risk,” said Jay Timmons, president and chief executive of the National Association of Manufacturers.

Representatives for agricultural interests, which were among the hardest hit during the trade wars in Mr. Trump’s first term, warned on Sunday that Mr. Trump had put the sector in a “tough spot.”

“Farm and ranch families answer the call to feed America’s families and the world, and the tariffs and promised retaliation will put further stress on their livelihoods,” said Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation.

Taylor Swift presents Beyoncé Grammy for best country album: ‘Was not expecting this’

Fifteen years after Taylor Swift earned her first Grammy award, the “Reputation” singer handed Beyoncé a trophy for country album for her “Cowboy Carter” catalog.

“I really was not expecting this,” Beyoncé said as she took the stage. 

Husband, Jay-Z, and daughter, Blue Ivy, joined the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer at the 67th Grammy Awards just one day after Beyoncé announced she was going on tour in support of the album.

“I want to thank God – oh my God – that I’m able to still do what I still love after so many years,” she said after receiving the award from Taylor.

“I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists and I just want to encourage people to do what their passionate about. Stay persistent.”

Marco Rubio Tells Panama’s Leader ‘Immediate Changes’ Are Needed

0

Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared to escalate the Trump administration’s confrontation with Panama on Sunday, telling its leader that President Trump had determined that Chinese “influence and control” over the Panama Canal threatens the waterway and demanding “immediate changes,” according to the State Department.

Panama’s president, José Raúl Mulino, provided a different account of the discussion, saying after the meeting that he did not believe Mr. Rubio had conveyed a threat that Mr. Trump might move to reclaim the American-built shipping route. He said he saw little risk of such an intervention.

But President Trump, speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland about the canal on Sunday, said that “we’re going to take it back, or something very powerful is going to happen.”

The State Department’s summary of the meeting in Panama City, Mr. Rubio’s first with a foreign leader since becoming secretary of state, struck a tone that was sometimes aggressive. It said Mr. Rubio had told his host that Mr. Trump had made a “preliminary determination” that China’s government exercised control over the canal.

“Secretary Rubio made clear that this status quo is unacceptable and that absent immediate changes, it would require the United States to take measures necessary to protect its rights under the treaty,” the State Department spokeswoman, Tammy Bruce, said in the summary.

Ms. Bruce did not specify what those measures might be. Asked last month whether he would rule out putting military force behind his threats to reclaim the canal, which the U.S. controlled for nearly a century, Mr. Trump declined to do so.

Speaking to reporters after meeting with Mr. Rubio, however, Mr. Mulino repeatedly played down the risk that Mr. Trump might seize the canal. “There is no question that the canal is operated by Panama and will continue to be so,” he said. “I don’t think there was any discrepancy on that,” he said.

“I did not feel any threat,” Mr. Mulino said.

Mr. Trump has falsely claimed that China “operates” the canal, which was built by the United States in the early 1900s and was operated by Americans for most of the 20th century. Agreements reached under President Jimmy Carter’s administration transferred it to Panamanian control in 1999.

Mr. Trump and Mr. Rubio have focused on the fact that a Hong Kong-based company, CK Hutchison Holdings, operates seaports at both ends of the waterway. They claim that poses a national security threat to the United States, suggesting that the Chinese government could order the company to obstruct shipping. Many experts are skeptical of that claim.

Mr. Rubio said Mr. Trump had determined that the Chinese connection to the canal violated a treaty meant to ensure its neutrality.

Mr. Mulino said after the Sunday talks that his government would decide what steps to take after receiving the results of an audit of CK Hutchison that it had recently ordered. “We have to wait for that audit to be done to come to our own legal conclusions and act in accordance,” Mr. Mulino said he had told Mr. Rubio. He suggested that this was an area in which there “could be updates.”

Mr. Trump is not the first American president to worry about hostile interference with the canal. During World War II, the Roosevelt administration acted to defend the waterway from Nazi sabotage plans. During the Cold War, presidents fretted about what a 1951 U.S. diplomatic cable called “Communist designs on the Canal.”

Later on Sunday, Mr. Rubio traveled to the canal itself, touring the Miraflores Locks near central Panama City, where vessels move along the 51-mile canal linking the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea. He met there with the canal’s administrator and toured an elevated control room, as a huge petroleum gas tanker with a bright orange hull and Korean lettering slowly approached.

Mr. Rubio is touring five Latin American nations on his first trip abroad as Mr. Trump’s top diplomat. He is scheduled to travel on Monday to El Salvador and then to Costa Rica, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic.

During remarks to employees at the American Embassy in Panama City, Mr. Rubio, the son of Cuban migrants, joked that he’d told aides that he wanted to pay his first visit “to a place where they speak Spanish, because I’m bilingual,” proceeding to show off his fluency in the language.

Mr. Rubio acknowledged America’s complicated history with Panama, a former Colombian territory that was founded after President Theodore Roosevelt’s administration, eyeing the potential for a shortcut between America’s Atlantic and Pacific coasts, backed breakaway separatists who declared independence in 1903.

Mr. Rubio noted that the country “was born in many ways here as a result of the interests of the United States,” and said the relationship had had its “ups and downs.” The downs include a 1989 U.S. invasion of the country to arrest the country’s de facto ruler, Gen. Manuel Noriega, on charges of drug trafficking and racketeering.

Ahead of the secretary of state’s visit, Panamanian flags covered the streets of Panama City and the former Canal Zone, where they were once prohibited during the era of American control.

Striking a warmer tone than in the stern passages about the canal, Ms. Bruce’s summary said Mr. Rubio had “thanked President Mulino for his support of a joint repatriation program” that had reduced migration through the Darién Gap, the perilous route between Colombia and Panama that has become a gateway for hundreds of thousands of migrants each year.

Mr. Mulino said the two men had discussed expanding a July agreement that Mr. Mulino made with the Biden administration aimed at tightening security at the gap, and that he had offered Mr. Rubio the use of an air strip for planes to repatriate migrants. In his remarks, Mr. Mulino said there had been a 94 percent drop in the number of migrants passing through the Darién Gap into Panama last month, compared with January 2024.

Mr. Mulino also said on Sunday that Panama, which in 2017 became the first country in the region to sign on to China’s Belt and Road Initiative, a far-reaching infrastructure program, would not renew the agreement. He said he hoped the withdrawal would prompt the United States to take a more active role in projects in Panama.

In recent years, Mr. Mulino said, the United States had left “a lot of empty space” for others to fill. After announcing the pullout from the Chinese program, Mr. Mulino said, “I think this visit opens a path toward building a new era in relations.”

Panama agrees to end canal deal with China after Rubio visit

0

Panama’s president vowed Sunday to end a key development deal with China after meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and after complaints from President Donald Trump that the Latin American country had ceded control over its critical shipping canal to Beijing.

José Raúl Mulino, Panama’s president, said his nation’s sovereignty over the 51-mile waterway, which connects the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, will remain unchanged. But he said he would not renew a 2017 memorandum of understanding to join China’s Belt and Road global development initiative and that Panama would instead look to work more closely with the U.S.

“I think this visit opens the door to build new relations … and try to increase as much as possible U.S. investments in Panama,” Mulino told reporters after meeting with Rubio on his first international trip since being confirmed.

Rubio, who was a senator representing Florida before Trump tapped him to be America’s top diplomat, said his team is ready to push the U.S. agenda.

‘TAKING IT BACK’: INTERNAL HOUSE GOP MEMO OUTLINES CASE FOR TRUMP TO Y PANAMA CANAL

“Had the pleasure of meeting the incredible @USEmbPAN team during my first embassy meet and greet in my new role as Secretary of State!” Rubio wrote in a post on X. “Thankful for their dedication and ongoing efforts to promoting President Trump’s vision of an America First foreign policy.”

During his visit, Rubio wrote in a post on X that “the United States cannot, and will not, allow the Chinese Communist Party to continue with its effective and growing control over the Panama Canal area.” 

Trump has complained that China exerts control over the canal and charges U.S. ships six-figure premiums to cross Panama’s isthmus. The canal was built over several decades by the U.S. and completed in 1914 but handed over to Panama during the Carter administration.

Trump has made regaining ownership of the Panama Canal a priority in his administration. House Republicans introduced a bill for the United States to repurchase the Panama Canal after Trump raised concerns that the critical waterway is under Chinese control. 

The bill, named the Panama Canal Repurchase Act, was introduced by Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., a member of the Select Committee on China and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

“President Trump is right to consider repurchasing the Panama Canal,” Johnson said in a statement. “China’s interest in and presence around the canal is a cause for concern. America must project strength abroad – owning and operating the Panama Canal might be an important step towards a stronger America and a more secure globe.”

If it becomes law, the bill would give the president authority to act in coordination with the secretary of state to “initiate and conduct negotiations with appropriate counterparts of the Government of the Republic of Panama to reacquire the Panama Canal.”

The U.S. Department of State estimates around 72% of all vessels that travel through the Panama Canal are coming from or going to a U.S. port.

Noting the canal’s strategic importance to the United States, Johnson’s office also noted how the waterway is a key transit point for U.S. Coast Guard and Department of Defense vessels.

Without access to the canal, ships would be forced to travel 8,000 additional miles around South America. 

“More than 10,000 ships use the Panama Canal each year, generating billions of dollars of tolls which would economically benefit America,” Johnson’s office said.

While the canal and China’s role in the region topped the agenda, Rubio had other items to raise.

“We also discussed efforts to end the hemisphere’s mass migration crisis and ensure fair competition for U.S. firms,” Rubio added.

Across Border From Detroit, Bafflement and Anger Over U.S. Tariffs

0

Not long after “Hockey Night in Canada” began on the big screens of a bar in Windsor, Ontario, fans in the arena could be heard delivering an icy message as the visiting team’s national anthem was played. They booed, long and loud.

The visiting team was the Minnesota Wild, the anthem was “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and the game in Ottawa on Saturday was taking place hours after President Trump imposed heavy trade tariffs on Canadian imports.

Windsor is the automotive capital of Canada, and a city where the flag lauded in the booed American anthem can often be seen flapping beside its Canadian counterpart. With Detroit just across the border, A.T.M.s in Windsor disburse both U.S. and Canadian dollars.

And so Mr. Trump’s decision to impose damaging 25 percent tariffs on most Canadian exports and 10 percent levies on energy exports has set off waves of anger and worry in Windsor, and a sense, for many people, of deep disappointment and helplessness.

The tariffs, a stunning departure from the norm in modern relations between the two countries, has raised concerns about a swift shutdown of local auto plants, as well as car factories in Detroit across a river that at some points is only a half-mile wide.

Mr. Trump’s suggestions, repeated again on Sunday, that Canada abandon its sovereignty and throw in its lot with the United States merely added insult to injury. Canadians in Windsor viewed the American president’s idea as — to put it mildly — profoundly unneighborly.

“What is he going to do to us?” wondered Navita Peters, a clerk at a convenience store, as she price-scanned a newspaper with a large photo of a Canadian maple leaf flag on the front page. “It’s unfortunate for the businessmen, but we’re all going to eventually suffer.”

Ms. Peters, who moved to Windsor 25 years ago from Trinidad, said: “It is upsetting, but what can we do? I am proud to be Canadian.”

Lana Payne, the president of Unifor, a union that represents many of Windsor’s autoworkers and employees in other industries across the country, said that since Mr. Trump’s tariffs were announced late Saturday afternoon, she had been deluged by messages.

“A lot of Canadians are waking up this morning absolutely enraged and trying to figure out why their closest ally in the world would do this to them,” said Ms. Payne, who estimated that about 120,000 of her union’s members work in jobs that depend on exports, primarily to the United States. “I never thought I would see this in my lifetime.”

Windsor had appeared to be on the upswing.

After many years of new auto investment going to other places in Canada or, more commonly, Mexico and the southern United States, Stellantis spent 1.89 billion Canadian dollars (about $1.3 billion) to retool a Chrysler assembly plant in Windsor to make electric vehicles alongside gasoline-powered ones. With 4,500 employees, and thousands more expected once a third shift is added, the factory is the hub of the auto industry in Windsor.

And out on the city’s eastern fringes, a 5 billion Canadian dollar (about $3.4 billion) battery plant owned by Stellantis and LG is under construction, with one part already in operation.

Now, instead of anticipating growth, local companies are anxiously waiting to see if they can hold onto what they already have.

Flavio Volpe, the president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’​ Association, a Canadian trade group, said that Windsor’s many auto parts makers receive weekly orders from automakers based on the production schedules of assembly plants in both Canada and the United States. Now, he said, auto companies are likely to tell parts makers with U.S. orders “that they need to eat the 25 percent.”

Since absorbing the tariff would mean losses of 15 percent to 20 percent for most parts companies, most will probably decide to stop shipping, Mr. Volpe said. Carmakers, too, would have to dramatically hike prices to consumers to offset tariffs on finished cars shipped from Canada.

“How are you going to book a loss every day?” Mr. Volpe asked.

George Papp, the chief executive of Papp Plastics, a parts maker headquartered near the Detroit River in Windsor, said on Sunday that he had yet to hear from any auto companies.

“It is becoming obvious that this is less about punishing Canada or Mexico and more about restructuring revenue for the United States,” Mr. Papp said. Other nations may soon also find themselves hit by American tariffs. “Canada and Mexico are the world’s examples of what’s to come,” he said.

Because auto plants often keep in stock as little as 24 hours’ worth of parts, assembly line shutdowns are expected to quickly follow any suspension of parts shipments. The Stellantis plant in Windsor, which makes minivans and muscle cars, is among those facilities at risk, since it relies on components sent from the United States that use Canadian parts.

Even before Mr. Trump made the tariff order official, and the Canadian government responded with tariffs of its own on American products, some people in Windsor were discussing boycotts.

At a cafe adjacent to the distillery where Canadian Club whisky is made — and largely exported to the United States — two men could be heard loudly discussing their options. They ruled out taking any vacations in the United States, and even vowed not to cross the river for Detroit Tigers games once baseball season begins.

Under official orders, American beer, wine and sprits are to be pulled from the shelves of government-owned liquor stores. One supermarket was running paid posts touting the Canadian origins of some brands of pasta and frozen French fries. And online advertisements by Canadian airlines for trips to sunnier U.S. winter destinations have been met with derisive comments and calls to vacation in Canada.

While economic concerns predominate, Windsor residents also worry about the harm the dispute poses to the close relationship they have long enjoyed with the United States.

“Detroit’s our backyard,” Drew Dilkens, Windsor’s mayor, said, sitting in a meeting room with a view of the American city’s skyline.

Mr. Dilkens said Canada did have “cards we can play” in retaliation, but that the prospect gave him no pleasure.

“We want to be friends, like we have been for hundreds of years,” he said. “We’re not looking for a battle.”

‘Facts of Life’ star Nancy McKeon said ‘there was a lot’ of scrutiny over cast’s weight

“Facts of Life” star Nancy McKeon is opening up about the scrutiny she and her castmates experienced over their weight.

McKeon told the New York Post in a recent interview “there was a lot” of talk about the weight of the cast, including Lisa Whelchel, Kim Fields and Mindy Cohn.

She didn’t specify what was said but told the outlet, “Each one of us had to deal with things in our own way.”

The 58-year-old added that it was strange for the cast’s weight to be “made a thing” because the show was famous for dealing with teen issues, including eating disorders.

‘FACTS OF LIFE’ STAR SAYS REBOOT SABOTAGED BY ‘GREEDY B—-‘

“When you think about the fact you’re recording somebody’s puberty from 14 to their early 20s, that period, there’s so much development, there’s so many things that you’re going through, it’s quite curious looking back, how would you not go through all the things that everybody in life has gone through?”

While she didn’t appreciate it, McKeon acknowledged it’s an unfortunate part of the entertainment industry.

“Each one of us had to deal with things in our own way.”

“That’s why it’s called show business, it’s a business, and they wanted what they wanted. But we’re also human beings and the fact is everybody comes in all shapes and sizes and everybody needs to be represented.”

She added, “There is no one ideal [body]. There should be an embrace of every body.”

McKeon’s co-star, Lisa Whelchel, also spoke about the pressures she faced playing the pretty, wealthy but a bit snobby Blair on the series.

In 2023, Whelchel told People Magazine she was sent to a “fat farm” during filming breaks after she gained weight.

“Obviously, we’re in a different time,” she told the outlet. “We’ve learned a lot. We’re a lot more body positive right now, which I’m grateful for. I mean, it’s still an issue.”

“But certainly as a teenager, [that] was a lot,” she continued. 

And like McKeon, she’s accepted it was a regrettable part of the line of work she chose.

“Though even back then, I understood it’s a business. They hired me to play a certain character that looked a certain way,” she said. “And it was also really, really hard because I was going through puberty and my parents were going through a divorce, and I was living in California and they were in Texas, so there was emotional eating involved. All the things that are not atypical of teenage girls.”

“But I think everybody was doing the best they could back then. And as Maya Angelou said: ‘When you know better, you do better,'” Whelchel told the outlet.

3 Mexican Sectors Most Affected by U.S. Tariffs, and How the Country Could Respond

0

The Trump administration’s move to impose tariffs on Mexico sent shock waves across the country of 130 million people on Sunday, with economic sector after sector bracing for the impact of these measures.

So far, Mexico has yet to provide any specifics on how it plans to hit back. But President Claudia Sheinbaum’s negotiators must select from areas where her country has some leverage to react, such as agriculture, and parts of the economy where it has little or none, like the energy industry.

“Just as a starting point, Mexico has to retaliate,” said Kenneth Smith Ramos, a former Mexican government negotiator who put together the retaliation list in 2018, when the country squared off with the first Trump administration over tariffs.

“But you need to do it in a way that causes economic harm in the U.S., with precision shots on certain products that also cause political turbulence,” Mr. Smith Ramos added.

That could mean new tariffs on Kentucky bourbon, high-fructose corn syrup, pork or other products coming predominantly from states that supported President Trump in the November election.

Conditions have changed since the last time Mexico and the United States were mired in a trade crisis, during Mr. Trump’s first term. Since then, Mexico has eclipsed China as the largest trading partner in goods with the United States. Mexico also emerged as the top market worldwide for U.S. food and agriculture exports, with those imports surging 7 percent from the previous year to more than $29 billion, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

But if agriculture is one area where Mexico could find numerous ways to retaliate, other parts of the economy, like automobile manufacturing or energy, expose the country’s deep vulnerabilities to Mr. Trump’s heavy-handed tactics.

In those sectors, Mexico’s reliance on the United States has actually increased in recent years, giving its negotiators less maneuvering room. But Mr. Trump’s tariffs could still resonate in the United States if they result in higher prices for cars or refined fuels like diesel.

Mexico also has some other tools at its disposal.

The authorities could allow the country’s currency, the peso, to weaken against the dollar, effectively making its exports more competitive despite Mr. Trump’s tariffs. The peso fell 2.5 percent in trading on Sunday to 21.21 to the dollar, its lowest level since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine rattled markets in 2022.

A 17 percent slide in value of the peso over the past year, combined with the tariffs imposed on Canada and China, among Mexico’s main competitors in the U.S. market, will ease the blow from the tariffs in Mexico, said Alberto Ramos, head of the Latin American research team at Goldman Sachs.

But the real risk to Mexico’s economy is whether the trade war will be resolved quickly or extend over a long period of time. If the tensions go unresolved, that could lead to factory closures, job losses and a recession, economists warn.

Raine Mahdi, chief executive of Zipfox, a San Diego-based company that links factories in Mexico with American companies seeking alternatives from Asia, said he viewed the tariffs as a negotiating tactic aimed at winning concessions from Mexico in areas like migration and the drug trade.

“All Mexico really needs to do, and they will, is show some genuine honest effort in those areas,” Mr. Mahdi said. “That’s all this is about.”

Still, politics might get in the way of hammering out a deal. The Trump administration’s assertion that Mexico’s government has an “intolerable alliance” with drug cartels has already hit a nerve in Mexico’s political establishment, producing a stern rebuke from Ms. Sheinbaum.

In a video responding to the U.S. tariffs, the Mexican president on Sunday called Mr. Trump’s claim that the Mexican government had an alliance with criminal groups “terribly irresponsible.” She said she was preparing to announce retaliatory measures on Monday morning.

“If they want to act, they should not set their sights on Mexico, but on their own country, where they have done nothing to stop the illegal sale of this and other drugs,” Ms. Sheinbaum said, referring to fentanyl.

As tensions simmer, these are the areas of Mexico’s economy which will shape the country’s response to Mr. Trump’s tariffs.

Mexican farmers, who supply 63 percent of U.S. vegetable imports and 47 percent of its fruit and nut imports, could come under intense pressure if the tariff dispute intensifies. Products like avocados, which have experienced skyrocketing demand from American consumers, will likely get more expensive.

But as Mexico has increased its agricultural exports to the United States, it also grown into the most important market for U.S. food and agricultural exports, ahead of both Canada and China.

That could allow Mexico to target certain products from the United States with tariffs. In 2018, Mexican negotiators strategically placed tariffs on products from states and regions with strong ties to the first Trump administration, including apples, bourbon, cheese, cranberries, pork and potatoes.

Canada, which Mr. Trump also hit with 25 percent tariffs, has already announced retaliatory levies on selected U.S. goods this time around. The country’s response is focused on maximizing the effect in Republican-controlled states, in a bid to get representatives from those states to ask the president to call off U.S. tariffs and de-escalate.

That tactic, along with similar tariffs on U.S. products from Canada, seemed to work when officials from Mexico, Canada and the United States returned to the negotiating table. Scrapping the tariffs imposed at the time, they renegotiated the trade treaty intertwining the three countries and hammered out the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which Mr. Trump signed in 2020.

The fate of that treaty, known as the U.S.M.C.A., is now up in the air, as Mr. Trump and his advisers argue that its terms were not restrictive enough to prevent American manufacturers from moving factories outside the United States.

When it comes to agriculture, experts say Mexico could also have the potential to pivot, albeit slowly, to other markets. Even as Mexico has relied on the United States, Mexico has increasingly sought to expand trade with countries in Asia and Latin America.

Mexico has also strengthened ties with the European Union, which is the second-largest market for Mexican exports after the United States, and imports products like tequila and beer, coffee, fruit juice, avocados and berries.

In addition to tariffs, Mexico could eliminate preferences for imported grains and vegetable oils from the United States, potentially opting to import such products from Latin American agricultural powerhouses like Brazil or Argentina. But that could require major changes to infrastructure like ports and railways, something hard to do in the near term.

The new tariffs have the potential to wreak havoc on Mexico’s automobile industry, a linchpin of the country’s economy employing more than one million people and accounting for about 5 percent of gross domestic product.

Vehicles and auto parts are Mexico’s largest export to the United States, worth $157 billion in 2023. As vehicle production has waned over the years in Canada, it has increased in Mexico, exposing car manufacturers from around the world, and their many thousands of Mexican employees, to disruptions.

About 27 percent of Nissan’s sales in the United States were sourced from Mexico in 2024, while Stellantis sourced 23 percent and General Motors sourced 22 percent, according a report by S&P Global, a provider of financial information and credit ratings.

As supply chains have increasingly grown more complex and intertwined, Mexico appears to have relatively little leverage to respond with measures targeting U.S. car manufacturers since many of these companies already operate in Mexico and are grappling themselves with how to react.

But Mexico could provide a concession by doing more to curb imports of Chinese vehicles, which are quickly making inroads in an important market for U.S. and European car manufacturers.

Uncertainty over one of the main engines of Mexico’s economy could produce factory closures and job losses at home. And in the United States, the tariffs on vehicles could place greater strain on vehicle affordability when car prices are approaching historic highs.

For American consumers, the 25 percent import tax would add $6,250 to the average $25,000 landed cost (which includes the vehicle price, transportation and duties) of a vehicle from Mexico, S&P estimated.

Another weak spot for Mexico is energy. After a costly bet on fossil fuels and years of underinvestment in its own energy production, Mexico faces both declining oil output and a dearth of renewable energy resources to bolster its grid.

Laying bare this dilemma, Mexico relies on imports of U.S. natural gas for a staggering 70 percent of its domestic natural gas consumption.

The country’s fast-growing, low-cost industrial base is especially dependent on these energy imports to power factories, warehouses and data centers. That reliance could prevent Mexico from placing its own tariffs on imported U.S. energy.

Mexico also exports roughly 700,000 barrels of crude oil a day to the United States, cargoes that will now face a 25 percent import tax. (By contrast, tariffs of just 10 percent will be placed on Canadian energy exports to the United States.)

In turn, Mexico also imports large amounts of refined fuels like gasoline and diesel from the United States. Ms. Sheinbaum’s predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, had sought to curb this dependence by building huge new refineries in Mexico.

But immense cost overruns and delays have kept Pemex, Mexico’s debt-laden national oil company, from reducing this dependence on fuel imports from the United States. That leaves Mexico with less leverage as it prepares to respond to the Trump administration’s measures.
