Mexico's advantages in the face of the US trade war

July 14, 2025 /
Season 3

In this new episode of Legal Evolution, we discuss the potential advantages and even significant growth that a US trade war could bring to Mexico. For this, we speak with Paula Gutiérrez, an associate in our Querétaro office and an expert in nearshoring, along with our host and partner, Juan Carlos Machorro. Specifically, we discuss a major hypothesis regarding the Mexican business sector: that the trade war initiated by the United States with much of the world leaves Mexico particularly well-positioned to benefit from this conflict, given certain conditions and the country's inherent advantages.
