Mexico, the top avocado producer, supplies 89% of U.S. avocado imports, yet fruits and vegetables are under 2% of U.S. imports. High-tech industries—autos, machinery, electronics, and instruments—make up 70% and cross the border multiple times before final assembly, compounding tariff impacts.

🚨 US 🇺🇸 -Mexico 🇲🇽 trade is deeply integrated—especially in auto manufacturing. A 25% tariff on all Mexican imports would severely disrupt the industry and damage North America's supply chain. What does that mean? Losses, plant closures & potential bankruptcies in the U.S. auto sector. 🧵👇
