The imposition of tariffs by the United States government on various countries is linked to the national security agenda imposed by Donald Trump, according to José Maria Ramos García, research professor at the Colegio de la Frontera Norte (Colef).
He added that, as a result of the problems presented by the Executive Branch, he has issued hundreds of executive orders, in which he uses the concept of national security.
"In the matter of the application of tariffs, we are seeing an approach based on national security because it is affecting the economy," Ramos García stated.
Regarding opportunities, the research professor commented that the Latin American region must promote state policies that favor employment, security, and diversify economies through the Social Solidarity Economy and international remittances.
"The challenge for Latin American countries and Mexico is to strengthen regional integration or strengthen this social economy initiative," he stated.
