  • Bickering between Canada and Mexico since the U.S. threatened both with 25% tariffs has not ended formal relations for the countries.

The article from MSN, titled "No, Mexico and Canada Did Not Break Off Formal Relations: Fact Check," debunks a claim circulating on social media that Mexico and Canada have severed diplomatic ties with the United States. This claim was based on a misinterpretation of a statement by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who mentioned that Mexico would not engage in discussions with the U.S. about its internal affairs. Fact-checking organizations like Reuters and PolitiFact have confirmed that no official statements or actions from either Mexico or Canada indicate a break in diplomatic relations. The article clarifies that while there are ongoing tensions and discussions regarding various issues like trade, immigration, and security, formal diplomatic relations remain intact. It also highlights the importance of verifying information before sharing it, especially in the context of international relations where misinformation can have significant repercussions.
