Donald trump has long claimed that mexico could do more to stop migrants from illegally crossing over into the united states. He has done nothing to hide his frustration. Even tweeting pictures of large groups being apprehended by Border Patrol agents as they try to sneak into america. But it is not just people who cross this border every day stop its a huge amount trade and the president believes that offers an opportunity to put pressure on the mexican government. Ina pressure on the mexican government. In a post on twitter, he said on june ten the us would impose a 5 tariff on all goods coming into the country from mexico and he warned the tariff would gradually increase to up to 25 of the first of october. Tariffs have become a favourite weapon of President Trump. He has used them in his ongoing trade battle with china, to some concern on the stock market. There are firms rattled about this latest dispute including several of the Worlds Largest Car Manufacturers to have factories in mexico and a large market in america. They are not alone. Some in the white house i said to be worried about the potential wider Economic Impact and what this could mean for the us mca trade deal between canada, america and mexico. As President Trump was finalising his plans, the us Vice President mike pence was north of americas other border to discuss that agreement with the print canadian Prime Ministerjustin trudeau. That it has to still be ratified between the two countries and this tariffs could put that in doubt. Certainly mexican officials are warning that they will retaliate and that will surely cross tensions again. This surprise move by President Trump has rattled investors big concerns in particular about asian firms who manufacture in mexico for the us market. Rico hizon is looking at this for us in singapore. President trump has turned Market Sentiment upside down.

Rico is talking about fears of global recession. This is a President Trump shooting from the hip, policy by tweet. How will mexico really react . Hip, policy by tweet. How will mexico really react . Clearly, this is driving all nations to be more nationalistic. You start looking after your own voters rather than looking at cross border rates. Inevitably, we will see further reactions from mexico going forward. You wrote about the three years ago and almost predicted this was going to happen before President Trump came to power. Whats feeding it . We have had a stagnation in productivity and that has led to modest wage growth. People are voting against the status quo for change was up they dont know whats right but they just change was up they dont know whats right but theyjust dont change was up they dont know whats right but they just dont want the current position to carry on so we are entering a period where politicians can announce these things and data further support. Politicians can announce these things and data further supportm america going to be able to withstand this assault on all sides . Is there going to be a trade war with china, they are in the midst of it, there is an impasse, there is no one with mexico, who knows where thatis no one with mexico, who knows where that is going to lead. Economically, hows it going to impact on the country . It might affect in terms of seeing a slight downturn but they get the less downturn than everyone else. They are a large economy, they trade within themselves, they dont have a massive overseas account so from that point of view, they are not as affected and they have the reserve currency of the world. Dollar is the leading currency of the world and if people need dollars, they will be ok compared with everyone else. But prices will go up, consumers will feel it in the pocket. Absolutely. Inflation has been so low for the last 30 years. This is going to start driving inflation and ultimately Interest Rates will have to rise. Do you not think that will affect voters . Everyone says this is about President Trump playing to his core base but if they say prices go up in the shops, where they think twice . It might change some voters but a lot of them will blame it on the others and they will say it is not ours, it is others, they have been ripping off ourjobs for years.

Wto tariffs are rudimentary, no other country in the world trade just rudimentary, no other country in the world tradejust on rudimentary, no other country in the world trade just on wto tariffs. Look at the impact it is going to have on the ability of our firms to compete and grow and then come back and make your decision is as leaders. Businesses are resilient but lets be clear, there is no such thing as managing a no deal. It is impossible to prepare except for the very biggest companies. 85 of Small Companies cant prepare. They havent got the money, they havent got the time, to be able to put consist but contingency plans in place. Of course the world will carry on spinning but we will have lost jobs carry on spinning but we will have lostjobs and investment and damage our economy and that is what were saying to the potential leaders of the conservative today.
