Tariffs could have a lasting impact if applied permanently or intermittently, creating uncertainty among investors and businessmen. Although Mexico can take measures to mitigate this impact, not all will be effective immediately. While the President of the United States employs an aggressive strategy, similar to that of a sumo wrestler, to pressure his opponent, the long-term effectiveness of his moves is uncertain.
"The United States has once again threatened tariffs on Mexican exports, based on various reasons, from the trade deficit to immigration issues. If these tariffs remain a threat without being fully implemented, their impact could be limited," explained an analyst.
Although Mexican exports could be affected in the short term, they could also accelerate market diversification and modernization of key sectors. It is vital for Mexico to learn to adapt to this uncertain trade scenario.
In the past, the U.S. President has threatened tariffs and then backed down, demonstrating the volatility of his trade strategy. It is necessary for Mexico to take proactive measures to avoid over-reliance on a single trading partner and strengthen relations with other countries.
In this context, facing the current trade uncertainty requires strategy and patience. It is essential for Mexico not to remain passive in the face of tariff threats and to prepare for different scenarios, as the national economy may be vulnerable to these measures.
