Friends and readers have asked me to stop talking about Donald Trump, expressing being tired and uninterested in his actions. Some believe that the economic problems of Mexico are more related to local government decisions than to those of the United States.
However, I still believe that Trump's decisions will be decisive for the Mexican economy in the coming months. Trump enjoys generating uncertainty, which has become clear recently with the confusion he has sown about possible tariffs on Mexico.
The Mexican government is making efforts to avoid these tariffs, presenting arguments both in security and trade relations to dismantle the accusations from the United States. Trump makes decisions based on beliefs and perceptions rather than on evidence.
There are only a few days left to avoid the tariffs, and the option for reaching an agreement may close soon. A basic agreement is expected to avoid complications. The economic future is in Trump’s hands, and although many would prefer not to talk about him, his decisions will directly impact many aspects.
