NAFTA makes Mexican exports more attractive to nations around the world. It is far more important to Mexico than the US. Trump knows he’s holding the better hand, the Mexican government knows it, so this “ambassador” is full of guano.

“Ildefonso Guajardo tells the Televisa network that his country will be in a weak position at talks with U.S. President Donald Trump unless Mexico makes it clear it won’t accept just anything in order to preserve the three-nation trade pact. …”

It blows me away! These guys are like a bunch of fleas floating down a river on their backs with erections yelling “raise the bridge, we’re coming through!”
Like somehow Mexico has the “determining vote” in the continuation of NAFTA. To the extent that NAFTA has benefitted their crap hole country at the expense of the US (and probably Canada too) they sure do have a tub full of chuzpah when it comes to opening their yaps to complain when things start to change to make trade completely fair.

According to the US Census Bureau, We lost close to $59B dollars in trade swap with Mexico last year.

https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c2010.html

What most people don’t know is that Mexico is our second leading country in petroleum sales to us. They can’t afford to drop from NAFTA as the United States gave Mexico $51.5 million in foreign aid in 2013 alone. Of that amount, $24.8 million, the largest segment, was designated for democracy, human rights and governance. The next largest amount, $10.9 million, was designated for the environment, and $8.4 million was designated for economic development.

However, this would be a good time to start to ween from their oil and become more self sufficient with the Canadian oil and the pipeline, and open up ANWAR for more harvesting to become far more independent. And it will cost less and be easier to obtain this way.

Winning. We are negotiating from a position of great strength. Mexico needs us, we don’t need Mexico.

If they don’t get their way, what do they plan to do? Send a surge of their nation’s poor northward? Oh, wait...
