Mexico girds for talks on ‘counterproductive’ Trump tariff threat 0 SHARES Share it! Economists warned that the Mexican economy could be pushed into recession if Trump followed through, and there were worries that it could also affect US growth. Ebrard said the tariffs would “cause financial and economic instability,” making it even harder for Mexico to address the migrant movements. “This is much more harmful for the Mexican economy than the US economy,” he said. He rejected the proposal mentioned by top Trump officials that Mexico, as the first country the migrants enter, agree to accept all of their asylum claims.
