Mexico Under Pressure, Not Only from Trump
•
Americas Quarterly
Since Donald Trump’s election there have been fireworks between him and Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum. President-elect Trump has threatened to impose tariffs of 25 percent as two leaders embark on what are likely to be contentious negotiations over migration, border control and trade. In this episode we discuss the potential consequences for Mexico and what is Sheinbaum’s strategy. We also assess the current health of the Mexican economy as the president marks two months in office. Our guest is Valeria Moy, director of director of the Instituto Mexicano para la Competitividad, a think tank based in Mexico City.
