******** president shrugs off Ecuador tariff announcement

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday dismissed the announcement from Ecuador’s president a day earlier to apply tariffs on ******** goods, noting that her country’s trade with Ecuador represents a tiny share of exports.

Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa announced on Monday that his government will apply a 27% tariff on all ******** goods in an effort to promote fair treatment for his country’s companies.

Sheinbaum told reporters at her regular morning press conference that ******** exports to the South American nation likely represent just 0.4% of Mexico’s overall shipments to foreign markets.

“Shrimp from (the ******** state of) Sinaloa are more delicious than those from Ecuador,” she said, downplaying the impact the tariffs would have on the ******** economy. Sinaloa state is a major producer of ******** shrimp.

The two countries have not had diplomatic relations since Noboa ordered a raid on the ******** embassy in Quito last year to arrest a former Ecuadorean vice president.
