Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Tuesday that there are more lists of names of alleged drug traffickers for extradition to the United States.

In February, Mexico handed over nearly 30 jailed convicts or others accused of ties to violent drug cartels to U.S. authorities amid threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to impose across-the-board tariffs on Mexican goods, which he later paused.

Trump is expected to announce reciprocal tariff rates on April 2, after implementing levies on aluminum, steel and automobiles.

Sheinbaum said in her daily press conference that Mexico does not believe in "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" regarding its response to U.S. tariffs, but that action would be taken.
