The Mexicanist Newsletter: Christmas in Mexico & Trump's Return
This month's Mexicanist newsletter covers a wide range of topics, from Trump's impact on US-Mexico relations and trade (including USMCA review and nearshoring potential) to lighter fare like turtle-friendly shrimp, soursop's US debut, and festive Mexican Christmas celebrations.
Welcome back to the Mexicanist. Now, last month, it was all sombreros and sunshine, wasn’t it? Lovely. But now… well, now things have got a bit… complicated. Like trying to parallel park a double-decker bus in a Tijuana back alley.
We've got Trump back in the White House, fiddling with tariffs like a chimp with a spanner. The USMCA? Up for review. That’s going to be fun, isn’t it? And then there’s the nearshoring business – could be a goldmine for Mexico, but with Trump at the helm, it’s more like navigating a minefield.
