Elon Musk, the controversial CEO of Tesla, has put the Mexican automotive industry on alert by stating that it would not make sense to invest in Mexico if the President of the United States, Donald Trump, imposes heavy tariffs on vehicles produced in our country. This statement has raised concerns at the Tesla plant in Monterrey, which could be affected by the commercial decisions of the US administration. The news comes at a crucial moment for Mexico, as the government of Claudia Sheinbaum has announced an ambitious investment plan of 300 billion pesos for trains and programs in the Budget 2025. This initiative aims to boost the country's economic development and improve transportation infrastructure, but uncertainty about US trade policies could complicate its implementation. Furthermore, Mexico is on alert regarding Trump's trade plan, which could change everything for the Mexican economy. The possibility of new tariffs and trade restrictions has raised concerns among business leaders and politicians in the country, who see the decisions of the US administration as a threat to Mexico's economic stability. Amid this uncertain landscape, Democratic leaders in Congress have endorsed Kamala Harris and her candidacy, which could have repercussions on the relationship between Mexico and the United States in the event of a Democratic victory in the upcoming presidential elections. Harris's stance on trade and migration issues could mark a change in the bilateral relationship, directly affecting the Mexican economy. On the other hand, Mexico City has stood out for its promotion of sustainable mobility, with a focus on using bicycles as a means of transportation. Various districts have invested in cycling infrastructure to encourage the use of this mode of transportation, reducing dependence on cars and contributing to the reduction of environmental pollution in the capital. In this context of challenges and opportunities, Mexico faces a complex scenario in the economic and commercial sphere. Decisions by leaders such as Elon Musk and Donald Trump could have a significant impact on the Mexican automotive industry, as well as on other key sectors of the economy. The Mexican government will have to be vigilant and take strategic measures to protect the country's interests and ensure sustainable development amidst international uncertainty.
