The President of the United States, Donald Trump, expressed his desire to be treated fairly by other nations, noting that his country contributes more than anyone else and wants to be regarded equitably. During his participation in the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, he addressed the issue of trade relations, emphasizing the importance of fair treatment.
In this context, questions arise about whether Mexico will intervene again to save Canada, as it did in the previous agreement, insisting on a trilateral treaty that promotes the integration of North America above differences. In the past, former President López Obrador played a key role in advocating for a pact that included all three nations, despite Trump's initial preference for bilateral agreements.
Trump's hostile stance toward Canada persists in his second term, even suggesting the possibility that Canada could become part of the United States due to difficulties in trade negotiations. In light of this situation, the Mexican Foreign Ministry is considering the possibility of accelerating the review of the USMCA and concluding it earlier than expected, transforming it into bilateral agreements as Trump originally intended.
Migration flows are intensifying in the region, with the arrival of new repatriates at the Flamingos shelter in Tijuana. Recent decisions by the White House, such as the imposition of tariffs on products from Mexico and Canada, as well as those from China, pose new challenges in the commercial and political realm. In this scenario, Mexico's ambassador to China, Jesús Seade, questions whether it is advisable to continue intervening in favor of Canada amid Trump's protectionist policies.
Trump's perception of Canada contrasts with that of Mexico, highlighting the good relationship with the current Mexican government. In Davos, Trump mentioned that things are going well with Mexico, but it has been difficult with Canada. Additionally, he referred to the trade deficit with Canada and pointed out that his country has no need for certain resources from it.
