“She wants to share some more information with us. We have not scanned every shipment on this country now. We have some information in the criminal background testing. So we are very happy to see President Trump. He is notable,” he said.
Noim said his meeting with Shinbam was “very productive” and lasted for almost two hours and was much longer than the planned 30 minutes.
“He has signed some of those deals with us. I asked her to share biometric information with us, and she is ready to discuss her in her country even though he is a little controversial.”
“He is making a good confidence effort, but President Trump is clear. He does not want people to continue to speak. He wants to see the action. She has a chance to do some things. I will make a statement to the president.

Shinbam said last week Once the Mexican products are aware of additional obligations, his government will provide a “comprehensive response” for the US fees on April 3.
“We do not want to give an answer to every issue, but rather a detailed answer,” the president said, “Always protect Mexico.”

He asked at his morning press conference to retaliate for additional US charges on Mexican goods. Shinbam said:
“We don’t believe in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth because it always leads to a bad situation.”
As for Noim’s comments, Shinebam stressed on Tuesday that he did not accept anything that had to change biometric data and that he would respond only to Mexico.
