“We gave him everything”: Trump’s amazing tariff Mexico

Until the last minute, Isaac Bryberger, just like many other Mexican businessmen, still cannot believe that President Trump Sify, with Mexico, was with the definitions. It did not matter that Mr. Trump announced that particular day that he would move forward in planned taxes.

“I am still unbelievable,” said Mr. Pressburger, the sales manager at PRESLOW, a family -running clothing company in Mexico. “Now we know that Trump presses you to give him what he wants. He gave him everything and did not leave his grip.”

In response to Mr. Trump’s threat to impose a 25 percent tariff on Mexican products, Mexico made a great effort: The leaders agreed to send more than twenty of the alleged Cartel heads to try them in the United States, which is a departure from the previous position of the government on inclusion.

President Claudia Shinbom has sent thousands of National Guard forces to Sinalua, the center of trafficking in Fintanel, where they seized huge quantities of artificial opioids and hit hundreds of laboratories. I sent thousands to the American border, which contributed to diving in the number of illegal crossings.

Analysts say that Mrs. Shinbom was isolated further than anyone expected that the Trump administration was that her government was serious in fulfilling our demands.

However, despite all this, the tariffs were struck after midnight on Tuesday.

This has left people in the Mexico government, businessmen and civil society, but they also feel angry, even my mind.

“We are certain,” Ms. Shinbom said at a press conference on Tuesday morning. “There is no reason, justification, or excuse that supports this decision, which will affect our people and our countries.”

She got rid of what she described as “great actions” of her government against organized crime, and noticed a 50 percent decrease in fentanel attacks between October and January on the borders of the United States and Mexico.

She said, “We have worked and authorized results on security issues,” she said.

The customs tariff is not just a rift in the fabric of two economies that were deeply intertwined for decades, but a sudden exit from a relationship was a long time ago and what many expect in Mexico: a deal at the last minute.

During the end of last week, there was a delegation of Mexico negotiating feverish with Washington officials, and the leaders believed confidence. Even the financial markets were held fixed in Mexico.

Mexico Economy Minister, Marcelo Eporard, to publish To social media on Friday, “Mexico and the United States have a great future together”, with three expressive symbols. Business leaders throughout the country shared the same optimism until Monday.

Jose de Jesus Rodriguez, head of the Mexico City Chamber of Commerce, said that Mr. Trump’s decision was surprised, especially in light of the American leader’s proposal that he will not impose definitions if Mexico achieved results about immigration and drug trafficking. The results achieved by a barrage of high -level arrests and the delivery of 29 drug heads of the accused who have long sought the US government have sought to obtain their soil.

But Mr. Trump, whose criticism of Mexico has focused on illegal fentanel, on his conditions on Monday, saying that Canada and Mexico need to transfer car factories and other manufacturing to the United States. He said: “What they have to do is build their car factories, frankly, and other things in the United States, in which case they do not have a tariff.”

“It is very disappointing and frustrated,” said Mr. Rodriguez. “The United States broke its word, dictating the future of our commercial relationship.”

He added, “It is time for us to look at other regions.”

Ms. Shinbom said that she is a scheduled call with Mr. Trump on Thursday, and told reporters on Tuesday that if the definitions remain valid after that, her government will continue in counter -measures, including reprisal taxes, which will be announced on Sunday. Canada also announced mutual definitions.

She said, “We do not want to enter into a commercial war.” “This only affects people.”

Mrs. Xinbum’s approval categories in Mexico increased, where many praised her great approach to dealing with Mr. Trump, who called her “a wonderful woman”.

But the commercial wars that are currently underway will now test this relationship, but will also test this relationship, but the government will be isolated its economy and its inhabitants from chaos and pain.

Mr. Pressburger, the Presslo Sales Director, said that he still hopes that the customs tariff will not last for more than a few days, or that Mr. Trump will change his opinion. Otherwise, “it will be disastrous for Mexico.”

The United States buys more than three quarters of Mexico exports, and customs duties will reach manufacturing, agriculture and other companies, immediately disrupted the supply chain and most likely raise the cost of Mexican goods sold in the United States.

A few hours before the definitions intervened, Manuel Sotilo, head of the Cefuld Khawraz Vectories Association, said that uncertainty hovers over many of the cargo truck in the United States.

He said if the definitions are applied to all Mexican products, it will affect everyone. But if they also apply to raw materials coming from companies on the border, “the situation will get worse in the region.”

He said that the transportation industry cannot last for a week if the trade is frozen.

When Mr. Trump struck Mexico with definitions during his first term, he performed a surgical response, as he targeted reprisals in the products that were produced in the Republican states that are part of the Trump base – such as Kentucky Bourbon.

The definitions were raised about a year later.

Preparing for the worst, Mexican business owners and groups have already begun.

Antonio Lancaster, Chairman of the Council of Industrial Chambers in the state of Galissco, one of the largest food and beverage exporters – including Tikila – to the United States, said the room leaders are already talking to the state and the federal government on plans to enhance local production and follow up on other export markets.

“We have seen this coming, and this means that we will continue to rearrange our exports,” said Mr. Lancaster. He added: “We will finally finish exporting to Europe, Asia, or anywhere else.”

Businessmen, like Mr. Lancaster, have argued that the definitions will finally end with harm to American consumers as well as Mexican producers.

“We all lose here,” he said.

Jesús Manuel Salayandía, a business group coordinator, said that mostly corporate leaders in the United States are gathering to plan to respond to the definitions, said Jesús Manuel Salayandía, Coordinator of a commercial group on the border.

He said: “They analyze whether they will be transferred to Central America, or to the southern part of the country, or if they will return to the United States, or if they complete automation or send certain production lines.” “All this is considered.”

Mr. Salalanda said that the Mexican government, which may expect a deal at the last minute, did not prepare.

They were thinking, “Let’s wait for Trump to tell us what would happen.” “But they are not working on a plan to enhance the local market or provide incentives for companies here already.”

Marcelo Wozkuiz, the state representative of the National Association of importers and the exporters of the Mexican Republic in Chihuwa, said during the past few weeks, some companies have had workers in the clock service around the clock to export goods to the United States before the definitions entered.

“But this is just aspirin for headache; it does not really solve the problem.”
