With just 50 days before Donald Trump took office, many Americans are regretting their vote for the current president due to the controversial decisions he has made in his first term. The reaction of Republicans in Congress contrasts with the concern in the markets, among businesspeople and consumers, due to the tariffs imposed on countries like China, Canada, and soon Mexico.
Analysts believe that Trump's actions have generated negative consequences in U.S. stock markets and represent a shift in his policy, prompting him to reconsider imposing tariffs on Mexico and maintain trade aggressiveness. Canada's reactions to the tariffs imposed by Trump have been strong.
On the other hand, Trump is rapidly losing trade and military allies, including Mexican governors from the close circle of Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The president has put his administration at risk and affected important collaborators like Elon Musk.
Trade and ideological wars have replaced military ones, which heralds difficult times, especially with a leader who is considered a kind of messiah. The U.S. economy is wobbling, and Trump seeks to fulfill his campaign promises, which exposes Mexico to new tariff threats.
The European Union has distanced itself from the United States, and the trade war with China continues to escalate, negatively impacting key sectors of the U.S. economy. Despite having only a 47% approval rating, Trump is determined to proceed with his economic policies, which could trigger a recession.
