In a recent development, Mexican singer León Larregui, lead vocalist of the band Zoé, has publicly suggested that Mexico should require visas for U.S. citizens entering the country. This proposal comes in response to President Donald Trump’s imposition of a 25% tariff on Mexican imports to the United States, a move that has heightened tensions between the two nations.

On his official X account, Larregui addressed Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, stating, “Visa for the gringos, respectable @Claudiashein.” His post quickly gained traction, amassing over 462,000 views, 17,000 likes, and more than 1,500 shares. The suggestion ignited a debate among his followers, with comments ranging from support for retaliatory measures to calls for reclaiming former Mexican territories.

President Trump’s recent decision to impose a 25% tariff affects not only Mexico but also Canada and China, with the latter facing a 10% tariff. The Trump administration justified these tariffs by stating they are necessary to hold these countries accountable for their promises to curb the flow of harmful drugs into the United States.

Larregui’s proposal reflects a broader sentiment of frustration and a desire for reciprocal actions in the face of U.S. policies perceived as detrimental to Mexico’s interests. As the situation evolves, it remains to be seen how the Mexican government will respond to both the tariffs and the public’s call for measures such as visa requirements for U.S. citizens.
