00:00In other news, the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinman, stated that following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling against the
00:06tariff policies promoted by President Donald Trump,
00:09the Mexican government is considering resuming oil shipments to Cuba.
00:14During her regular morning press conference, the Mexican president said that the oil shipment to the Caribbean island will be
00:21decided in the coming days without putting the Mexican people at risk.
00:26The initiative came after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the tariff policies imposed by the Trump administration against
00:32countries around the world were illegal.
00:35In response to international solidarity with Cuba in the face of economic suffocation, Washington threatened to impose tariffs on countries
00:43that mobilise oil aid to the largest of the anti-ease.
00:47However, the court's decision would undermine these actions.
00:55Also, in the same context, President Claudia Sheinman mentioned that tariffs against Mexico were reduced by at least 15 percent
01:02following the court ruling against Trump, the Trump administration.
01:09First, remember that Mexico is the country with the lowest tariffs in the world.
01:14Secondly, where do we have tariffs?
01:17Well, in the automotive industry, although with a discount on parts manufactured in the United States,
01:24on steel and aluminum, like all countries in the world, and for everything that is not exported under the treaty,
01:31if not with another mechanism called Most Favored Nation, which is around 20 percent of what is exported.
01:40It was a little more, but now it is less.
01:43It was 25 percent for national security reasons.
01:47The United States court ruled to reverse all those tariffs that had to do with security.
01:54So that 25 percent tariff has now been reduced to 10 percent, which is what is published.
02:02President Trump announced that it would be raised from 10 percent to 15 percent, but he has not yet published
02:09it.
02:10So what was 25 percent outside the treaty, which was exported outside the treaty, is now 10 percent.
02:24And we say in Mexico, regarding the electoral reform proposal, the Mexican head of state declared that it fulfills the
02:31commitments made to the people
02:32and that its approval will depend on the National Congress.
02:38For us, the proposal is already in place, and it is a matter of fulfilling our commitment to the people,
02:44because it is not just a question of taking away from here and putting here,
02:49with everything remaining the same,
02:54because that is not the case.
02:56It is a proposal that recognizes the political diversity of Mexico.
03:01It does not seek to create a state party, as some are trying to suggest.
03:07It recognizes the political diversity of Mexico, but it also seeks to respond to the demands of the people.
03:15That is what the electoral reform is about.
03:18They said, OK, let's think about it for one more day.
03:23But in any case, it will be up to Congress to decide whether or not to approve it.
03:29So it will depend on Congress.
03:30.
