Trump jokes about tariffs on Mexico for lettuce and Canada for smoke

The president joked about taxes and mentioned infection outbreaks and forest fires.

Trump’s statements

US President Donald Trump joked this Friday about the possibility of imposing “a big tariff” on Mexico for lettuce allegedly linked to an outbreak of intestinal infections. He also targeted Canada for the smoke from its forest fires.

During a talk with journalists, he made the comparison in an ironic tone: “lettuce or smoke?” Then, laughing, he said he would prefer smoke. The statement came a day after announcing new 10% tariffs on products from 60 countries, including Mexico and Canada.

Comments about Mexico

The comment arose after confirming that analyzes of a batch of lettuce from Taylor Farms México, held in Laredo, Texas, were negative for the Cyclospora cayetanensis parasite. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) noted that an initially positive sample was a false positive. The alert had affected Mexican producers, especially in Guanajuato, after linking the lettuce used by chains such as Taco Bell with cases of cyclosporiasis.

Criticism of Canada

Trump also questioned the effects of the Canadian fires, whose smoke covered cities such as New York, Chicago and Detroit. He stated that he will ask Canada to take action and maintained that the problem had not arisen before. All this occurs in the midst of a trade policy marked by tariff threats towards its main partners.

Possible remains found at cremation site in Ayutla, Jalisco

Activists find alleged clandestine oven in Jalisco; state authorities without support.

The search mother Ceci Patricia Flores Armenta, founder of the Mothers Searchers of Sonora collective, reported that together with groups from Jalisco they located an alleged incineration site in the municipality of Ayutla. Multiple remains of human origin were found at the site.

No institutional support

The families requested assistance from the State Person Search Commission to go to the point. The request was rejected. Flores Armenta denounced on social networks that the authorities did not offer support, transportation, tools or resources to continue with the recovery of the evidence.

“Searching should not be a sentence for families,” said the activist.

He pointed out that the groups do not have privileges, but rather the fulfillment of a legal and human obligation of the Mexican State. He demanded institutional support for those involved in locating missing persons.

The discovery joins other cases in the region where clandestine ovens linked to forced disappearance have been detected. So far, the State Search Commission has not issued an official position on the incident.
