Comicomment: U.S. obsession with hegemony threatens the world

（ECNS）--U.S. President-elect Trump announced a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada. Mexico's Ricardo Monreal criticized the move, stating that escalating trade retaliation harms people's wallets without addressing the real issues.

The U.S. has increasingly used "national security" as a justification to impose trade barriers, blacklist foreign companies, and impose sanctions, disrupting global trade and economic stability. Economic coercion has become a key tool in U.S. foreign policy, undermining the global trade system and threatening international order.
