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