Mexico's Productive Sovereignty: Resilience Against T-MEC Withdrawal

The article suggests that Mexico would not face an immediate export collapse even if the U.S. withdrew from the T-MEC agreement. This resilience is attributed to foreign companies using Mexico as a production platform, indicating continued exports as long as production remains profitable.


Si EstadosUnidos abandonara el T-MEC, México no enfrentaría un colapso exportador inmediato. Buena parte de lo que vende al mercado estadunidense es producido por empresas extranjeras que usan nuestro territorio como plataforma productiva. No desmontarían de un día para otro plantas, contratos y capital hundido. Mientras producir aquí sea rentable, seguirán exportando.
