Sheinbaum Warns of Protests Over Proposed US Tax on Remittances

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum has warned of potential protests against a proposed 3.5% tax on remittances sent by Mexican immigrants to their families back home. The tax, currently under consideration by the US Senate, has sparked outrage in Mexico. "We do not agree with imposing taxes on those who have the least," Sheinbaum stated during a press conference. The Mexican government views the proposed tax as a violation of a 1994 bilateral treaty against double taxation.

Remittances are a crucial part of the Mexican economy, and this tax could have serious consequences for millions of families.
