Trump’s Threatened Mexico Tariffs: Credible, Irrational, Doomed
It is unclear how President Donald Trump’s announcement of new across-the-board tariffs on Mexico will achieve their
stated goal of stopping illegal immigration. But they could help the president in his ongoing disputes with the U.S.
Federal Reserve and China.
Two maps show how every US state's economy could be affected by Trump's proposed Mexico tariffs
The proposed tariffs would go into effect on June 10, and would increase by 5% every month until hitting a maximum of
25% in October — unless Mexico takes action to reduce border crossings.
How Stunningly Stupid Is Trump's Tariff Threat Aimed at Mexico? Let's Count the Ways.
Tariffs are taxes on Americans. Making it more expensive to import goods from Mexico is a pretty roundabout way to get
Mexico to change its border policies, but it's a very direct tax increase for American businesses and consumers. Last
year, Americans imported more than $346 billion in goods from Mexico, so a 25 percent tariff would amount to an $87
billion tax increase.
Why Congress Cannot Allow the Trump Tariffs on Mexico to Stand
This is the deepest betrayal yet of any U.S. trading partner, one that will leave a scar in U.S.-Mexico relations for years to
come. No nation has endured more verbal abuse from the president than Mexico. Yet two successive Mexican
governments nonetheless turned the other cheek and engaged in serious negotiations with the Trump administration to
rewrite the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Latin America Update
LatAm: The New Kid at the FinTech Table
LatAm is not traditionally considered a popular region for FinTech
developments. With major headlines being hogged by China’s
FinTech giants, America’s booming VC investment and the growth
of open banking in Europe, it’s not hard to see why LatAm
struggles to get a look in. But is the lack of attention justified, or
is this region flying under the radar?
Political innovation in Latin America under threat?
This week, the third Meeting for Political Innovation will take
place in Mexico City, and will bring together social leaders,
politicians and activists from across Latin America who will face
the challenge of rethinking political innovation in the region in a
context of democratic backslides, repression and inequality.
Mexico is another scenario of uncertainty, in which there are few
guarantees of what could really occur once AMLO’s
administration has consolidated itself.
How Latin American trade with UAE will be enabled by Panama
Separated from the skyscrapers and sand dunes of Dubai by
nearly 14,000 kilometers and a series of seemingly never-ending
flights, Panama– population four million - seems like an unlikely
partner for the United Arab Emirates. But amid unreducible
regional markets, Panama could become the emirate’s gateway
into Latin America. The importance of the region was starkly
highlighted in April, when the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and
Industry organised – for the first time outside the emirate – the
Global Business Forum Latin America 2019.
Mexico calls for Regional Development to address Immigration
A U.N. commission on Monday presented a roadmap to boost
economic development in three Central American nations whose
poverty and violence now pushes desperate migrants to travel
across Mexico to the United States. The plan calls for hefty
increases in social spending, tackling corruption and improving
security — as well as a hefty dose of financial support and
investment, possibly from the United States.
Latin America’s Banking Revolution
The region’s leading banks produce some of the best numbers in
the global industry, and success in retail banking – and a hard-
learned approach to risk management – are core; could the
growth of digital banking bring a new era of change? Throughout
the region, institutions are more independent, capital levels are
much higher and risk management has become more
sophisticated.
The Collateral Damage From the U.S.-China Trade War Extends to
Latin America
When the trade war between China and the United States began
last year, a number of countries expected to emerge as winners.
After all, if Beijing and Washington imposed tariffs on each other’s
goods, it would open new markets for bystander countries not
directly involved in the fray. Now, however, the escalating trade
war is making everyone more anxious, even in countries that
thought they stood to benefit. The fact is, a trade war of this
magnitude inevitably reverberates across much of the world.

    Featured Content Trump’s ThreatenedMexico Tariffs: Credible, Irrational, Doomed It is unclear how President Donald Trump’s announcement of new across-the-board tariffs on Mexico will achieve their stated goal of stopping illegal immigration. But they could help the president in his ongoing disputes with the U.S. Federal Reserve and China. Two maps show how every US state's economy could be affected by Trump's proposed Mexico tariffs The proposed tariffs would go into effect on June 10, and would increase by 5% every month until hitting a maximum of 25% in October — unless Mexico takes action to reduce border crossings. How Stunningly Stupid Is Trump's Tariff Threat Aimed at Mexico? Let's Count the Ways. Tariffs are taxes on Americans. Making it more expensive to import goods from Mexico is a pretty roundabout way to get Mexico to change its border policies, but it's a very direct tax increase for American businesses and consumers. Last year, Americans imported more than $346 billion in goods from Mexico, so a 25 percent tariff would amount to an $87 billion tax increase. Why Congress Cannot Allow the Trump Tariffs on Mexico to Stand This is the deepest betrayal yet of any U.S. trading partner, one that will leave a scar in U.S.-Mexico relations for years to come. No nation has endured more verbal abuse from the president than Mexico. Yet two successive Mexican governments nonetheless turned the other cheek and engaged in serious negotiations with the Trump administration to rewrite the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

    Latin America Update LatAm:The New Kid at the FinTech Table LatAm is not traditionally considered a popular region for FinTech developments. With major headlines being hogged by China’s FinTech giants, America’s booming VC investment and the growth of open banking in Europe, it’s not hard to see why LatAm struggles to get a look in. But is the lack of attention justified, or is this region flying under the radar? Political innovation in Latin America under threat? This week, the third Meeting for Political Innovation will take place in Mexico City, and will bring together social leaders, politicians and activists from across Latin America who will face the challenge of rethinking political innovation in the region in a context of democratic backslides, repression and inequality. Mexico is another scenario of uncertainty, in which there are few guarantees of what could really occur once AMLO’s administration has consolidated itself. How Latin American trade with UAE will be enabled by Panama Separated from the skyscrapers and sand dunes of Dubai by nearly 14,000 kilometers and a series of seemingly never-ending flights, Panama– population four million - seems like an unlikely partner for the United Arab Emirates. But amid unreducible regional markets, Panama could become the emirate’s gateway into Latin America. The importance of the region was starkly highlighted in April, when the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry organised – for the first time outside the emirate – the Global Business Forum Latin America 2019. Mexico calls for Regional Development to address Immigration A U.N. commission on Monday presented a roadmap to boost economic development in three Central American nations whose poverty and violence now pushes desperate migrants to travel across Mexico to the United States. The plan calls for hefty increases in social spending, tackling corruption and improving security — as well as a hefty dose of financial support and investment, possibly from the United States. Latin America’s Banking Revolution The region’s leading banks produce some of the best numbers in the global industry, and success in retail banking – and a hard- learned approach to risk management – are core; could the growth of digital banking bring a new era of change? Throughout the region, institutions are more independent, capital levels are much higher and risk management has become more sophisticated. The Collateral Damage From the U.S.-China Trade War Extends to Latin America When the trade war between China and the United States began last year, a number of countries expected to emerge as winners. After all, if Beijing and Washington imposed tariffs on each other’s goods, it would open new markets for bystander countries not directly involved in the fray. Now, however, the escalating trade war is making everyone more anxious, even in countries that thought they stood to benefit. The fact is, a trade war of this magnitude inevitably reverberates across much of the world.
