Despite the positive acceleration of Mexico, the country faces nearby nearby difficulties, especially security concerns, infrastructure needs and trade policy uncertainty.

Eric Baker, Transport Lawyer and Law firm Partner Frost Brown ToddMany of the supply chains are affected by their customers’ rear tariffs of the world, he said.

“I have launched a group of supply chain experience and communicate with people who have both people and transport services … and we see the impact of uncertainty in the whole box office.” “I’m in the bane of the existence of any company of uncertainty.”

The baker, the uncertainty that caused the tariffs or any violations such as a calamity pandemic, for example, manufacturers usually plan for the years of supply chain strategies.

“Manufacturers are not easy to implement a new supply chain strategy,” he said. “When things like tariffs or pandemics break this supply chain, it is very difficult for other manufacturers, especially the environment, especially the environment, which has changed it so quickly and forward, is very difficult to trust other manufacturers.”

Baker has not changed the largest car companies expecting and seeing tariffs, but significantly changed the supply chains.

“My impression, many original equipment manufacturers, the manufacturers of equipment are watching him from the corner of his eyes, … ‘Hey, we pay attention to this,’ ‘he said. “But I really did not see a variation in the supply chain strategy.”

This will be able to deal with difficult water resources in some of the production cities?”

Shapiro said the uncertainty created by the Trump management could violate trade in North America and the United States-Mexican-Canada agreement.

“The United States has enjoyed its position on a global scale because the world’s most reliable and stable capacity. Now there are countries and blocks that say the United States is no longer valid,” he said. “During the first management of Trump’s first management and biden, I do not know whether the new USMCA, the North American trading bloc, the United States, Canada and Mexico, but Trump was very intense because the second term began in the office.”

For stakeholders, trade, according to Shapiro, should be considered a long-term tendency than a short-term phenomenon.

“I think we have very early stages nearby,” he said. “I think that this is a period horizontal for decades, as a result, it is an event that will be very positive in front of the curve, taking into account the attention.”

Dewart said he was drowning in the long-term prospects of Mexico.

“No matter what happens, Mexico will win this trade wars,” Debart said. “I would not say that they pulled the trigger and transferring factories, but they move the factories, but by comparing the ratios in the ocean world that seemed to come from Mexico and actively use the quotes.”
