Donald Trump hasn’t even made it to the White House yet, and his power as a negotiator is already reaping its rewards. Before he was president-elect, Mexico scoffed at Trump’s plan to renegotiate NAFTA. Now that Trump is on his way to the White House, they suddenly seem willing to cooperate.
Although Donald Trump’s election was shocking to the Mexican government, President Enrique Peña Nieto was one of first world leaders to congratulate President-elect Trump and seems ready to negotiate a new economic deal to prevent a trade war.
Mexico is very worried that President Trump will actually follow through on his promises to conduct massive deportations, to apply new trade tariffs and to demand renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Pena Nieto’s invitation for Trump to make an official Mexican visit in August now seems brilliant.
The Mexican government promised to intervene in currency markets to prevent any disruptive fall in the peso from the U.S. elections. But Mexico’s financial markets have been hammered since Election Day, with their peso currency crashing by 13 percent.
This week’s panic selling was worse than the start of Mexico’s 1994 “Tequila Crisis.” That disaster came a year after the signing of NAFTA in December 1993 by Mexico’s President Carlos Salinas and U.S. President Bill Clinton.
[…]Mexico’s President Enrique Pena Nieto’s phone call to President-elect Trump early on the morning of November 9 has already sparked agreement for a meeting before President-elect Trump is inaugurated in January, according to Stratfor Global Intelligence.
The outreach seems to indicates that Mexico values their its relationship with the U.S. and will be “flexible” in negotiations to maintain it.
Barack Obama already criticized Trump for his “unrealistic” plan to negotiate with Mexico. And maybe Obama really believed that Trump’s plan to take Mexico to the negotiation table was impossible. After all, Obama was never able to do it himself. But that’s the difference between Obama and Trump. Trump has the experience to make it happen.

Your eating crow tacos.
I voted for Obama the first time because I was tired of the corruption of the Grand Old Party and wanted change. Just like all the other poor saps that where ignorant of the depth of all the Corruption , I woke up quick and started researching . Needless to say I am a raging conspiracy theorist that thanks to wiki leaks and other people like me, we the tin foil hat information junkies, have been vindicated. I would like to see the day we can all get to the point we do not need to put a leader in charge of our lives or a State to govern our every move However, it will not happen in my life time. My goal is to help pave the way for future generations to have that experience. We can all take a good look at ourselves and come up with what kind of legacy we want to leave our children. What will your legacy be? I want less and less government. I want more and more freedom. I want every body to succeed at improving their lives especially if it helps others to do the same. I want Peace not war especially if it is for no other reason other than make already rich tyrants richer. I want all children to learn how to live with confidence in this world that they will not be abused or tortured or starve to death. I want a society that is cooperative in teaching healthy sustainability for the Earth and the human race. That is not why I voted for Trump it is what I see the possibility of because … people are waking Up. We can not do any of this if we keep letting the Corrupt system rule over us. Term limits and pay caps are a start.
Yeah,right !! What Trump says ,he meant what he said…so take care of your people !!
