The Secretary of Economy, Marcelo Ebrard, warned this Tuesday that if the United States applies the policy of mass deportations that the elected candidate, Donald Trump, has spoken about, this would represent an economic limit for his country.
The official also considered, regarding the threat of ending the trade agreement that unites North America, that it has been beneficial for the largest economy in the world, making it difficult to think about concluding it.
In a meeting with the media, Ebrard explained that the agenda between Mexico and the United States is very broad and complex, in which it is difficult to find a bilateral agenda with so many issues, but the most important are: migration, trade and security. In immigration, “there is an economic limit to carry out mass deportations, they will have to weigh it.
The Secretary of Economy recalled that in the state of Florida, in the United States, it went to the point where children had to be identified, what happened was that many immigrants returned to their countries and the consequence was that there was a shortage of labor and the construction industry was paralyzed, which caused a complicated situation for that state.
“Surely they will take those experiences into account. It has an economic limit because people are there for the job market. I don’t know how many people the United States can get, they will have to weigh that, but it does have limits,” he noted.
Regarding the importance of the Agreement between Mexico, the United States and Canada (TMEC), Marcelo Ebrard pointed out that it has been successful because bilateral trade has grown 32%, which implies that not only the United States buys from Mexico, Mexico also buys from it. to the United States and “no one is going to fight with millions of dollars.”
In relation to the strategies that will be used to review the USMCA in 2026, and given the threat that it will actually be a renegotiation and not a review, he commented that the Mexican teams are already working but it is important to wait to see how the team will be formed. cabinet in Donald Trump’s government.
