Trump discusses complexities in negotiating a trade deal with Mexico amid ongoing challenges.
Having just concluded major, lucrative trade deals with South Korea and the European Union, Donald Trump is still hashing out issues with Mexico before finalizing an agreement.
Because Mexico is such a source of illegal drug and human trafficking into America, because we share a border that can be used for fueling both great prosperity and significant harm, Trump declared that making a deal with that country is more complicated than making trade deals with other nations that are not such close neighbors and not so immediate a risk.
As usual, Trump informed Americans of the progress of trade negotiations on his Truth Social platform. “I have just concluded a telephone conversation with the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, which was very successful in that, more and more, we are getting to know and understand each other,” the president began on an optimistic note.
But the disagreements are not fully resolved, Trump clarified.
