Let’s be clear about this, if the #US raisesp #tariffs on products exported by Mexico and Canada it will be in violation of the #USMCA. This is an agreement worth $2 trillion dollars for the three North American countries…1/5
…depending on the #tariff levels and the products targeted, this will harm the three #economies and disrupt supply chains in North America that are highly #integrated…2/5
…this means the US would be willingly hurting its own economy, raising #prices on food products and consumer goods, and reducing the #competitiveness of its #manufacturing sector which relies heavily on #imports from MX & CAN…3/5
…it would also damage US #credibility when it demands that its trading partners #comply with international #trade commitments and open their markets to US exports. In all likelihood, it will force #MX & CAN to #retaliate by raising tariffs against US products…4/5
Violating commitments on a #trade agreement that Trump himself has said is “the best trade deal in the world” makes no economic sense. A #TradeWar in North America would be a huge setback to US efforts to compete successfully with #China and the rest of the world 5/5

I say bring it on. 25% #tariffs would be a horrible shot in the foot for the #US #economy that relies on hundreds of billions of dollars in #Mexican imports that boost the #competitiveness of its manufacturing sector. Good luck competing with #China if you suspend the USMCA…1/4
…this would also cause an immediate spike in prices for key agricultural products in the US such as berries, avocados, tomatoes, peppers, citrus, that mostly come from Mexico. The same #inflationary impact would be felt in hundreds of consumer goods and household appliances…2/4
#Mexico and #Canada are facing the proverbial game of chicken and they cannot afford to blink. President Sheinbaum has been clear: if the US imposes #tariffs Mexico will #retaliate, but it is also willing to start a constructive dialogue on #immigration and #security…3/4

Claro que el gobierno tiene razón al decir que debemos proteger la #biodiversidad y asegurar que podamos seguir produciendo las más de 23 millones de toneladas de maíz blanco que son esenciales para la alimentación de los mexicanos…1/7
Sin embargo, también es un hecho que podemos aprender mucho de las experiencias de Brasil y Argentina, que desde hace décadas permiten los cultivos genéticamente modificados en #soya, #maíz y muchos otros productos del campo…2/7
Durante años se trabajó en MX al interior de la Comisión Intersecretarial de Bioseguridad de los Organismos Genéticamente Modificados #CIBIOGEM para definir regiones donde se podría sembrar maíz GM, alejadas de la producción de maíz tradicional…3/7

Pretender desaparecer a los #reguladores autómomos es una contradicción absurda para un gobierno que dice querer ayudar a los que menos tienen. Abro 🧵…1/8
@cofecemx está a cargo de promover, proteger y garantizar la #competencia y la libre concurrencia. Es el organismo que combate #monopolios y elimina barreras de entrada, obstáculo principal para que los #empresarios pequeños y medianos puedan crecer en nuestro país…2/8
@cofecemx combate la #colusión y el abuso de #dominancia y por lo tanto es una gran herramienta para democratizar la economía y ayudar a que los “chicos” puedan entrar a mercados que por décadas han estado copados por los “grandes” #ParaEsoSirve…3/8
