Mexico braces for trade tensions and migrant deportations after Trump's election win

dawn.com November 6, 2024, 07:01 PM UTC

Mexico is preparing for potential trade tensions and mass migrant deportations following Donald Trump's election victory. Trump has threatened to impose tariffs of at least 25% on Mexican goods unless the country addresses issues related to crime and drug trafficking.

The Mexican peso has fallen to a two-year low as markets react to the possibility of increased trade friction. President Claudia Sheinbaum has stated that Trump's victory is not a cause for concern, emphasizing the economic integration between the two nations.

Experts believe Trump's plans for mass deportations could strain US-Mexico relations. Hundreds of migrants have already begun traveling toward the US border, highlighting ongoing migration challenges.
