Today, Congressman Carlos Gimenez of Florida expressed his support for President-elect Donald Trump's plan to impose a 25% tariff on products imported from Mexico and Canada. This measure will remain in effect until the drug and border issues are addressed.
"Mexico has been aiding the drug cartels and helping our enemies. They must pay the price," stated Representative Carlos Gimenez. He further criticized Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum, saying, "Mexico's socialist President, Claudia Sheinbaum, is sending 400,000 barrels of oil to the murderous Communist Castro regime in Cuba. I applaud President Donald Trump's decision to implement a 25% tariff on all products coming into the United States until the drug and border crisis is resolved."
Congressman Gimenez represents Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys. Notably, he is the only Cuban-born member of the 118th Congress, having left Cuba after its Communist takeover. Before his congressional career, he served as Fire Chief of Miami and Mayor of Miami-Dade County. Currently, he chairs several committees including Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security.
