>The Mexican secretary of economy says the United States will always be Mexico's largest trading partner, unless "Donald Trump wins the election."
>Speaking at the Woodrow Wilson Center's Mexico Institute in Washington on Friday, Ildefonso Guajardo touted the economic ties from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), cautioning against efforts to undo them. He said the agreement was intended as a free trade zone, but 20 years after its initial implementation, "we realized [that] we integrated Mexico and the U.S.A." "We build cars together, we build planes together, medical equipment, medical devices, and the point is if you are putting together production, you need to facilitate and to reduce transaction costs on the border," Guajardo said.
>International trade has become a central issue in the U.S. presidential campaign, with both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, on opposite sides on most issues, saying it is hurting American workers. "Bernie predicted that NAFTA, which went into effect in 1994, would eliminate jobs in the United States and would only benefit multinational corporations," says Sanders's campaign website.
>Trump has focused his campaign on the southern border, promising to force Mexico to pay for a wall. He's a proponent of strictly enforcing immigration laws and imposing a 35% tariff on products built in Mexico by American companies.
>Under U.S. law, NAFTA is a trade agreement that could technically be unilaterally dissolved.
>Guajardo panned the idea that trade hurts industrial workers, blaming technology and other changes instead. "Trade can be the solution to that," Guajardo said, "We are missing the point. The challenge comes from a natural process of development of technologies that we have to face."

Here's the most recent trade balance our country has with their's:
https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c2010.html
Exports Imports Balance
18,065.8 22,400.7 -4,334.9
That's in Millions of US Dollars.
So you can see how it's a pretty sweet deal for them and why the Mexican government is desperate to keep it going.

>"we realized [that] we integrated Mexico and the U.S.A."
So, should Mexico and Canada be annexed into a North American Union, with the US ruling supreme?
I mean, that's what he's hinting at.
>>69688542
>and imposing a 35% tariff on products built
No, you can either pay for the wall directly OR have this tariff implemented to pay for it
>>69690941
I've long advocated that we just annex the backwater and be done with it. A lot of their citizens live here already anyway.
>>69688542
what the fuck is it with people and their hate for multinational corporations?
OH NO!! you cant keep trade exclusively to yourself! youll have to share it with everyone else! someone else might get to use the same things you do! OH NO! HOW GREEDY AND CIRRUPT
mexico and bernie sanders can fuck off. theyre more selfish than the "elite greedy 1%" trying to get their wares to everyone.
theyre the same niggers who continue to oppose the tpp.
