Trump's decision to break the trade agreement between the North American countries has generated uncertainty in the trade relationship with Mexico and Canada. Despite granting a 30-day extension, the President of the United States did not rule out the imposition of a 25% tariff on products coming from those countries.
This situation calls into question the reliability of trade agreements, as even the trinational agreement (USMCA) negotiated and signed during the previous administration is threatened. The lack of respect for the agreements increases uncertainty in the business world.
Trump's unpredictability has led many entrepreneurs to distrust making deals with him. In this context, Mexico and Canada are expected to demonstrate actions to avoid trade conflicts and maintain stability in the region. However, the possibility that the trade agreement may be ignored if the expectations of the US president are not met is a lingering concern.
The US Chamber of Commerce has expressed its position in favor of international trade as a driver of economic growth for the United States, emphasizing the importance of continuing to invest in trade exchange. Despite current tensions, the agreement will remain in effect until 2036, which demonstrates the importance of maintaining stability in the region.
In this context, continuous adaptation and the ability to negotiate effectively present themselves as key elements to face trade challenges. It is essential to maintain the integrity of agreements and demonstrate firmness in defending the commercial interests of each country. The current uncertainty requires a strategic approach and collaboration to ensure the economic development of the region.
