The Trans-Pecos gas pipeline is one of a dozen under construction or in planning stages to provide a ready market in Mexico for fast-growing U.S. natural gas output. Mexico has bought more than half of all U.S. natural gas exports since April 2015. Trump has complained about imports from Mexico, but U.S. exports to Mexico are also substantial, including natural gas, wheat, corn, banking services, high-value electronic components for automobiles and inputs for appliances. So Mexican cars sold in the United States usually include parts made in the United States. Pascual notes that Mexico has free-trade agreements with more than 40 countries, more than the United States and most other countries.
