Mexico to ‘immediately’ react to United States border tax measure

Juan Musi, analyst at CI Estrategia, said markets are also on edge on the eve of a news conference Trump will give on Wednesday. “But I don’t want to wait that long”.

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto rejected Trump’s demand, saying that Mexico will not pay for the wall but will seek open and complete negotiations with Trump’t government.

Hours after Mr Trump repeated his warnings against Mexico during a press conference, Mr Pena Nieto said his government will seek “open and complete negotiations” with the next United States government.

Trump’s nominees for key trade positions, including for Commerce Secretary and the head of the new National Trade Council, as well as his post-election threats to companies in the auto sector, demonstrate his intent to follow through on campaign promises to change the way the USA has conducted trade relations for past 25 years.

The US presidential campaign, which culminated with Trump’s surprise victory over Hillary Clinton, was steeped in protectionist rhetoric, shaking Mexico’s government.

“You’re going to sell through a very strong border”.

“There’s no way that could happen”, Videgaray said, of the possibility that Mexico would reimburse the United States for the cost.

The Government said in a statement that the new envoy to Washington would be Geronimo Gutierrez, who held senior posts in two previous Mexican administrations headed by the opposition. Whether it’s a tax or wether it’s a payment.

Nieto’s comments come the same day that Trump reiterated his promise to have Mexico pay for the border wall.

When asked if Mexico would pay for the wall, Garcia said, “No way”. “I wish our politicians were so smart”. Trump is scheduled to take office as the 45th President of the United States on January 20.

“TRUMP, when will you understand that I am not paying for that f****n wall”.

“Last week, we saw an announcement that Ford would cancel a planned new assembly plant here”, Malkin says. “It’s not going to happen anymore”. Picture taken from the Mexico side of the U.S. -Mexico border.

The Los Angeles Times talked to several experts about that – as well as what Trump’s threats against Mexico could mean for the economies of both countries. He has also mentioned that it will be a wall and not just a fence. McBride agrees with that view, although he says that there are other reasons why US manufacturers would not leave Mexico, even if high tariffs were imposed by the U.S.

“The annual cost of tax-exempt credits just to benefit undocumented immigrants quadrupled to Dollars $4.2 billion in 2001”, says a document issued by Trump’s campaign team in 2015.

Trump has said he wants to begin construction of a border wall immediately and recognized that doing so require it to be paid for by American taxpayers.
