Despite the positive momentum of Mexico, the country’s relative faces major challenges, especially security concerns, infrastructure needs and uncertainty in commercial policy.
Eric Baker, Transport Lawyer and partner at the Law Office FrostMany of its supply chain agents said they are affected by the uncertainty caused by the customs tariff and the back around the world.
Front Braun Todd, based in Sensinati 600 lawyers, has 18 states. The company recommends companies related to supply chain risk management matters.
“I head our supply chain training set, and I am involved in both manufactured people and with people who provide transportation services … all in all fields, we see the effect of uncertainty,” Baker told Freightwaves in an interview. “I don’t care what the work you are, and the uncertainty is the curse of any company.”
Baker said that the uncertainty caused by customs tariffs or any kind of turmoil, such as the roaming epidemic, affects the long -term investment decisions, as manufacturers usually plan the supply chain strategies in advance.
“It is not easy for manufacturers to implement a new supply series,” Baker said. “When things like definitions or epidemics are disrupted by this supply chain, it is very difficult for manufacturers to turn that ship and respond quickly, because they depend on other manufacturers to provide them with equipment they may need locally or to re -equip their supply chains, especially when you see the environment changes quickly and according to.”
Baker said that most large car companies are taking an approach to waiting and establishing a customs tariff, but they have not changed their supply chains yet.
“My impression is that many of the original equipment manufacturers, and they are watching them outside the angle of their eyes, …” hey, we have to pay attention to this here. “But I really did not see a wholesale change in the supply chain strategy.”
Yaqoub Shapiro, Director of Research at The detailed groupHe said that in addition to the uncertainty in politics, Mexico faces challenges such as building the infrastructure needed to accommodate a significant increase in manufacturing activity.

“The biggest problem in Mexico will be the capacity,” Shapiro told Freightwaves in an interview. “Will they be able to build energy infrastructure and such things to meet the demand for the next energy? Will they be able to deal with scarce water resources in some cities on the borders why it will happen?”
Shapiro also said that the uncertainty created by the Trump administration could undermine North America and the United States, Mexico and Cananga agreement.
He said: “The United States has enjoyed its position worldwide because it was the most trusted and most stable power in the world. Now there are countries and blocks that the United States is no longer reliable.” “During the first Trump administration and the Biden administration, it seemed like it was, especially in 2020 when the new USMCA was signed, that there may be this commercial mass in North America, the United States, Canada and Mexico. I don’t know if it had left, but it was very tense since Trump’s second term began in the office.”
For stakeholders in trade, the approaching long -term direction should be considered instead of a short -term phenomenon, according to Cabero.
“I think we are in the very early stages of proximity,” he said. “I think this is a phenomenon that will appear during a period of time for contracts that will eventually be very positive for Mexico in particular and also for companies that precede the curve to note this.”
Diorte said he was also optimistic about Mexico’s long -term horizons.
“Regardless of what is happening, Mexico will be the winner of these commercial wars.” “I will not say that they withdraw the trigger and transport the factories, but they are actively asking for quotes, and comparing the rates in the ocean world in exchange for what will appear to be from Mexico.”
