The prospect of a trade war with President Trump raises alarms in Mexico, not just about job losses and economic strife, but also about potential blackouts. Mexico is heavily reliant on natural gas imported from the U.S., and any disruption in this supply could lead to severe consequences. Experts stress that this dependency is a critical issue, influencing political dynamics and prompting unusual accommodation from Mexico's leadership to appease the Trump administration. Addressing energy needs becomes a central concern in light of potential confrontations at the trade level.
Hundreds of thousands of lost jobs, mass poverty, and industries left idle highlight Mexico’s fears regarding a trade war with the U.S., especially pressures on electricity supply.
An interruption of the flow of gas from the U.S. to Mexico could lead to chaos, indicating the deep energy dependency that underpins political accommodations with President Trump.
