Interesting to hear a Canadian critique it’s southern neighbor…spoiler alert, your country has been turned into a laughing stock by your previous PM and heaven forbid that the Canadian population is dumb enough to elect Carney. The “loser” moniker will be permanently stamped on your collective foreheads.

Well said.

Is it the growth of .3-1% vs. similar latin economies at 3+%, that shows the excellence? Or perhaps the downgrades from all three major ranking agencies due to Pemex debt and the removal of institutional protections including the removal of judicial independence?
Please explain why the US as the worlds largest economy is doing so poorly against the Mexican economy.

Well said! This publication caters to that type of Americans.

Mr. Bembenek and a few commentators make good points and I also believe President Sheinbaum is the right person to lead Mexico. I am so impressed by her deliberate, pragmatic, and compassionate approach to governance. Sheinbaum is what Mexico so desperately needed after several corrupt administrations of political men enriching themselves and friends while ignoring the people.

Regarding the illegal migration into the USA, the cartel and fentanyl issues, Sheinbaum is effectively addressing those while cautiously working with Trump. Remember, much of this problem was enabled by AMLO by letting the majority of migrants freely walk through Mexico to the USA border. AMLO’s “Abrazos, no balasos” policy against the cartels was a complete concession to their business as usual.
Thanks to AMLO, President Sheinbaum was left a full plate to clean up! So I certainly can understand Trump using tariffs to compel Mexico to work on these areas.

Trump may continue with tariffs worldwide to encourage near-shoring, create American jobs, but he and the USA have bigger problems to deal with. A potential war in Iran, possibly igniting WWIII., an increasingly tense relationship with China, both economically and militarily, an lately, a growing dissatisfied MAGA base that could severally weaken his political power in next year’s election.

My advice to President Sheinbaum is to focus on making Mexico stronger economically internally and in the trade markets. Start negotiating increased trade with other countries and diminish dependence on the USA. Don’t worry so much about competing with it’s northern neighbor and concentrate on improving the wellbeing of Mexican citizens.

Only the Chinese, who are really everyone’s problem want to escalate the conflict. They picked the wrong guy to do this with. You do not mess with Donald Trump. If Mexico continues to fail controlling its side of the border and the cartels causing problems in the U.S. all will find this out shortly.

Mexico needs to focus on improving the standard of living and buying power of its own people so they can afford the stuff Mexican factories turn out. The concept of a country living off exporting to other countries is obsolete. That is what the message should be here. The first step is to finally attack and defeat the criminal cartels in Mexico. It is time to unleash a Mexican version of Elliot Ness and his crime fighters.

i hate to say it… but it is Mexican , who too think Americans are superior…. just observation…………. and very big smiles when an ¨American ¨is kind and humble
