Mexico Announces That It Wants to Start Negotiations With Trump ASAP

Mike H | Jan. 10, 3:07 pm | Leave a Comment

It’s been the carrot or the stick.  Trump has completely dominated Mexico, and this is before he has even taken office!  Mexico was antagonistic to the Trump plan for increase immigration restrictions, a reworking of NAFTA, and an increased tariff on all Mexican imports.  Trump stuck to his guns and even starting pressuring US companies to pull their industries out of Mexico which has caused the Mexican economy to plummet (the stick), while at the same time accepting Mexico’s pleas for negotiation now that it’s too late (the  carrot!)

The AP  –  MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s new foreign relations secretary said Tuesday his country isn’t just willing to negotiate changes to the North American Free Trade Agreement, it wants to start talks as soon as possible.

Luis Videgaray said there’s “enormous uncertainty” following the U.S. election of Donald Trump as president. Trump has pressured companies not to move jobs to Mexico, warned he would tax those who do, and has vowed to renegotiate NAFTA.

Videgaray said in a Radio Formula interview that Trump’s actions have caused concern, adding “that is why this (negotiation) process is so important, to dispel this uncertainty.” He said talks should start “as soon as possible.”

Mexico’s peso weakened further Tuesday, trading below 21.5 to $1.

Videgaray said his government’s main concern would be “how to protect jobs in Mexico,” and said “there are a lot of reasons to think the negotiation would be favorable for Mexico.”

He said Mexico is willing to negotiate over Trump’s plan to build a border wall. But Videgaray said Mexico won’t pay for the wall, calling that “unacceptable.”

Mexican manufacturing sectors such as the auto industry have benefited greatly from NAFTA, which went into effect in 1994. But wages haven’t risen much and Mexican farmers complain about massive imports of U.S. grain and other farm products.
