The threats of Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the presidency of the United States, to impose new tariffs are not considered a problem for the Mexican government, and everything indicates that the relationship between the countries will not change, said Raquel Buenrostro, head of the Ministry of Economy (SE).
We don’t see much of a problem. Even Trump just said it a few days ago: as you know, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (T-MEC) was the result of a negotiation between President Trump and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
he noted.
Trump recently indicated that if he wins the US presidency, he will impose tariffs on more Mexican products and also threatened to close the border.
Last week (Trump) said he was very satisfied with the results of the treaty, and he did not think it needed a revision. We see that he has no interest in modifying the trade relationship with Mexico.
said Buenrostro after participating in the inauguration of the fifth edition of Mujer Exporta MX.
At the end of last year, Mexico established itself as the main commercial partner of the United States, according to official reports from the neighboring country.
Asked about the announcement made by tycoon Elon Musk that he will stop investing in building a mega-plant in Nuevo León until after the elections in the neighboring country, the head of the SE considered that this will not stop the desire of other companies to come to Mexico.
He added that the Mexican government has no “records of investment in Tesla. They made announcements in the media, but there is no official procedure in accordance with the Foreign Direct Investment Law in Mexico.
“It doesn’t affect (the fact that they are going to cancel the investment). We have announcements, historic announcements and the records have also been historic. In the first quarter we had 20 billion dollars, which is more than 50 percent of what we had last year; so the investment is going very well.
Not at all (it stops the influx of capital). Tesla’s market is high-end, private and small, and popular or larger manufacturing automakers continue to build a lot and move forward.
the official added.
Barriers for women entrepreneurs
During her participation in the event, Buenrostro stated that women around the world face significant challenges in starting and expanding their businesses, including limited access to financing, legal and regulatory barriers, and restrictive sociocultural norms.
He stated that it is necessary that public policies are for the majority of people; that is why the focus is on democratising foreign trade. To do this, we need the inter-institutional collaboration of all areas of government so that, based on our powers, we can enhance these skills and these scopes in order to support the export process of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.
