Financial Times': Mexico is no longer taking Trumps threats seriously 


The British Financial Times newspaper on Friday (25) brings an article by Larry Summers, where he says he is returning from a recent trip to Mexico and after talking to business and government leaders, came to the conclusion that in relation to his last visit To the country in March, the leaders went from dismayed and alarmed to the administration of Trump to dismayed and confused.

The author considers a kind of progress for the US, and its president. 

"It is not that they find Donald Trump's rhetoric more rational than a few months ago. But they understood that, because of the strength of American institutions and the president's ineptitude, there is likely to be less connection between his rhetoric and action than They had previously assumed. "
Summers claims that the leaders he was with commented on the fact that the Mexican stock market had not been affected by the presidential fury about building walls and ending the North American Free Trade Agreement, noting that this kind of rhetoric six months ago Would have had great effects.

Similarly, over a few months ago, he says that they asked much less about excessive presidential power or the risks to democracy, and much more about impeachment scenarios.

It ends: I left my Mexican friends with a line of Churchill in which I have more and more confidence after seeing the response of the business community, cultural leaders and many Republicans of Congress to this administration: "The United States does the right, but only after Exhausting the alternatives. "
