That didn't take long.

Has she released a statement?

I am pleased it worked out. Mexico is an important trading partner and we need all the help we can muster in the stealth war already underway (IMO) with China.

"I'll make Mexico pay for it" - Trump

Tariffs would have effectively forced the automakers/OEMs to move back inside US borders. This would have destroyed the Mexican economy. This lady was smart to come to the table, and quickly.

So... she makes it stop when Trump tells her to.

Can I then assume that Biden told them to NOT stop it???

She figured out that it's much cheaper to stop the people from coming than to stop the companies from coming...back.

Wise lady.

More than just automakers. When Trump put tariffs in place during his first admin alot of tech makers that were assembling Chinese parts in the US moved operations to Mexico. This will stop the imminent blow to them, but I still think their day is coming.

Sadly, one of our biggest suppliers was one of those companies. We are expecting some serious price increases in 2025.

Are you paying attention Tom ?

Don't forget Elvis, lol.

I hope her Secrete Service is better than ours. The cartels will be looking to knock her off. The corruption in Mexico is rampant and those making many billions of dollars made in the drug and human trafficking business won't go down without a fight.

He didn't say an f-ing word. Which is the same thing as an open door policy.
