The unintended consequences of threats, insults and trade wars.
Quote:
In the past few decades, Mexico has become a far more cooperative partner of Washington’s in fighting drug-trafficking, terror threats and illegal migration. But Mexican politicians have called for reducing bilateral cooperation if Trump militarizes the border.
Trump’s move comes as Mexico is in the midst of a hotly contested campaign for president. The leading candidate is Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a center-left populist. On Wednesday he responded to Trump’s latest moves by declaring that “we will not accept the use of force, the militarization of the border.”
Mexico’s Senate on Wednesday unanimously approved a nonbinding resolution that urged the government to end cooperation with the United States on illegal immigration and drug trafficking because of Trump’s plans to deploy National Guard troops.
Ricardo Anaya, the presidential candidate for a left-right coalition, went further, calling on Mexico to curb its anti-terrorism cooperation until the Guard are withdrawn.
