Chapter 1: What did Claudia Sheinbaum say about Trump's tomato tariffs?

0.209 - 26.782 Ben Meiselas

She's back, Donald. Mexico's very popular president, Claudia Scheinbaum, holding more press conferences where she kind of very politely just shoes Donald Trump off. And she's like, you know, this Trump regime, they have a way of speaking. They're kind of just fools. Okay, Donald, you want to try to now do tariffs against our tomatoes?

0

27.322 - 49.707 Ben Meiselas

OK, then that just means that the Americans are going to pay 21 percent more for their tomatoes. They're still going to buy our tomatoes, Donald. This is after Trump's latest gambit after losing, losing and losing more. He's going to tariff the tomatoes that Mexico sends to the United States. Mexico's the biggest supplier of tomatoes. And let me

49.807 - 73.395 Ben Meiselas

be clear, while it's very, very, very important that we here in the United States are supporting first and foremost our American tomato farmers, there has to be some part of broader plan so that Americans who are already suffering because of Donald Trump's failed policies are not quite literally paying 21% more for things based on Trump's recklessness.

73.435 - 91.185 Ben Meiselas

So here's what President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico said, where she was like, They have a way of talking about things. These people in America, just basically calling them clowns. No offense to real clowns, which is a real profession. Donald Trump is a fascist clown. Play this clip.

92.765 - 118.764 Claudia Sheinbaum

Now let's see, they have their, as I have always said, they have their way of communicating. What we have always said and will always uphold, it is our principle, our conviction. And moreover, how it should be to protect the nation and the people of Mexico. is that there is coordination, there is collaboration. Information is shared, but without subordination and with respect for our sovereignty.

119.365 - 139.839 Claudia Sheinbaum

That is always mentioned. So that is the level of coordination, of collaboration that exists. And well, there is a security cabinet that is working every day, every day, And also, well, addressing the causes. And there is a reduction in crimes and the reduction will continue. It will continue.

140.179 - 157.491 Ben Meiselas

Now, here's President Claudia Scheinbaum talking about tomatoes. And she has one of her top officials by her side. And you can see they're viewing the Trump regime as like a like an oddity. Like, OK, we've seen this before. Here, play this clip.

157.871 - 160.973 Claudia Sheinbaum

About the tomato, it's important to know this.

160.993 - 185.828 Claudia Sheinbaum

The Florida producers in tomatoes have accused without reason that Mexican producers sell their tomatoes in the United States below cost, which is not true. So there is this suspension agreement on dumping. Until yesterday when the United States withdrew from this agreement, until July 14th, when it will already begin the application of this measure for the alleged tricks we have done with 20.91%.

Chapter 2: How will Trump's tariffs affect American consumers?

470.214 - 487.909 Ben Meiselas

Now contrast that to Claudia Scheinbaum. Again, these clips I'm showing you are from this week. We AI'd the voice because I want to make sure that our English speaking viewers can hear it too. So I apologize to our Spanish speaking audience. It's probably like, why are you doing AI voice? But it captures it pretty well, the translation.

488.389 - 508.116 Ben Meiselas

So here she is, and she's asked about being one of Time Magazine's kind of people of the year right now, one of the most powerful people that Time Magazine said. And watch how she handles it versus how Trump handles it. And you notice that in how she responds, she's taking a subtle jab at Donald. Play this clip.

508.536 - 509.217 Claudia Sheinbaum

Good morning.

509.898 - 517.228 Interviewer

How are you? It was just published by Times Magazine that you are among the 100 most influential people in the world.

0

517.308 - 544.179 Claudia Sheinbaum

Some people get dazzled by these things and say, wow. But no, you must always keep your feet on the ground. If one does work, that is up to the standards of the people of Mexico. Because the people of Mexico are the best there is. As it is thanks to this bond we have with our movement, with history, and with the people. Not to betray, and to be honest, always.

545.154 - 549.635 Claudia Sheinbaum

Let's say that these recognitions, more than to myself, are to the people of Mexico.

549.695 - 553.036 Claudia Sheinbaum

How would you like history to remember you?

553.056 - 581.474 Claudia Sheinbaum

The National Development Plan has already been published. It includes the 100 commitments we made in the Zócalo of Mexico City, and we are going to fulfill all 100. So from our principles, honesty, Integrity above all, up to each of the topics we committed to. So there are 100 commitments, and in the fourth transformation, commitments are fulfilled. Thank you.

582.304 - 603.251 Ben Meiselas

And then here's this clip of Claudia Scheinbaum that I think is very powerful as well, where she's convened an international coalition, a Latin American coalition rather, about sovereignty, respecting sovereignty, not subjugating Latin American countries. And she's bringing the countries together together.
