The security tightrope @claudiasheinbaum.bsky.social is walking isn’t about balancing Trump’s demands on one side and Mexico’s needs on the other. It is about shared interests being thrown by politicking back in Washington and Mexico City time.com/7314987/us-m...

This is the craziest story in Mexico right now… and it’s just the beginning. www.mxpe.org/p/how-pemex-...

Mexico’s very progressive human rights laws weren’t designed for a one-party government www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-wea...

After a single person dictatorship, and one-party rule, Mexico has the third worst form of government. As president Sheinbaum mulls an electoral reform, now’s a good time to remember how terrible—and unreformable—Mexico’s political system is. www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-pol...

You really need to listen to this episode of Mexico: The Podcast We're covering Mexico's 5 most famous people and you'll either hate or love this list. But you will absolutely learn something you didn't know about some of the most influential people in Mexican history www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjkl...

An entrepreneur or company expanding into Mexico has a lot to worry about. Labour unions are probably nowhere near the top of their concerns. This week showed, they probably should be. www.mxpe.org/p/weelly-ess...

Mexico is on the verge of striking a big deal with the Trump admin. So president Sheinbaum must have been pulling out her hair last week as her party went up in a blaze of anti-US rhetoric. Here’s why everything got so out of hand: www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-wee...

Candidates are so unqualified to campaign that by the time a consultant contacted them, many had already been scammed. This is what the lead up to Mexico’s judicial election has looked like for voters, candidates, and politicians: www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-jud...

For centuries governments have taxed those they consider to be second-class citizens. For just as long, the taxed have found ways to avoid paying. Republicans are in for a rude awakening www.mxpe.org/p/trump-remi...

It was a win-win agreement. MrBeast got permission to film Mayan ruins, Mexico got access to millions in free publicity. How could anyone screw this up? www.mxpe.org/p/mxpe-weekl...

You can't build an economy in your own image without breaking a few taboos. Mexico is going all out and is about to remake (or break) its entire economic system. Here's a breakdown of each of the major sectors president Sheinbaum is already revolutionising www.mxpe.org/p/plan-mexic...

Mexico’s most revered holiday abroad is a non-event to Mexicans. Find out what happened and why it is that the US has become so enamored by it in this episode of Mexico: The Podcast (link in the comments) www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-pod...

When the government saw an amazing community run environmental project and tried its own quick and dirty fix. It was a disaster. There’s another way www.mxpe.org/p/community-...

Mexico’s proposed telecoms reform—known as the “Censorship Bill”—was incredibly stupid. This is what it says about the country’s current politics: www.mxpe.org/p/mxpe-weekl...

Pope Francis saw and spoke to a world in which the economy no longer serves ordinary people, inequality is soaring, and our natural world is in crisis. I spoke to @skynewsrss.bsky.social for @cafod.bsky.social on the legacy of a Pope who criticised an “economy that kills” #PopeFrancis

Unsure where Mexico stands with tariffs at the moment? MXPE Weekly Essentials has got you. Here's an update—and Mexico is on surprisingly good footing. Read all about it here: www.mxpe.org/p/mxpe-weekl...

Donald Trump has reposted an anti-fentanyl video produced by the Mexican government. Though well intentioned (and a relational coup for Mexico), hyperbolic warnings about drugs can actually be very counterproductive. Here’s why: www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-dru...

“What’s truly unbelievable is that we’re now the ones defending the USMCA,” www.mxpe.org/p/mxpe-weekl...

@mexicope.bsky.social wasn’t originally going to cover the horrors discovered in Teuchitlán—tragically, none of this was new. That was, until the government opened its mouth. www.mxpe.org/p/sheinbaum-...

Listen to this episode of Mexico: The Podcast to discover the definitive answer as to whether Mexico is left wing or right wing. www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-pod...

This is damage tariffs on Mexican steel and aluminium will do to *US industry* www.mxpe.org/p/us-tariffs...

Ongoing tariff threats *are the policy* Explained how this will continue to work for Trump and Mexico in yesterday’s piece: www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-tar...

Mexico is largely fighting back by holding back. There is a very specific countdown to when it will actually have to respond though: www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-tar...

Despite not getting many concessions from the US, Sheinbaum has accrued a significant number of domestic policy victories thanks to Trump. Here’s how: www.mxpe.org/p/mxpe-weekl...

Despite their love-in over anti-fentanyl ads, Trump and Sheinbaum are dead wrong about what makes a society less likely to take drugs. The opposite is true; ads can make things worse and make tough decisions around drug policy harder. Here's why: www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-dru...

As MAGA "floods the space", Mexico has got caught in the undertow. Here's a quick cheat sheet to unpick the half-truths from the untruths regarding Mexico in the age of Trump: www.mxpe.org/p/mxpe-weekl...

20 of the world’s 50 most violent cities are in Mexico. This is no accident and neither is it due to an problem with Mexicans themselves. Find out how Mexico got so violent in our podcast: www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-pod...

This is the domino effect that will plan out when Trump's steel and aluminium tariffs kick in: www.mxpe.org/p/us-tariffs...

Mexico’s anti-nepotism and re-election bills do little more than empower entrenched party elites. Find out how by getting a paid subscription to The Mexico Political Economist www.mxpe.org/p/mxpe-weekl...

US has an ambitious semiconductors strategy and big plans for Mexico within it. But, unlike the EU plan which is far more equitable among its member States, the US was generous enough to leave its southern partner with the dregs. Find out how Mexico is pushing back: www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-sem...

"We have historically been very, very hard done by by the United States. So we're under no illusions they're going to continue to be friendly to us ad infinitum." @alexgonzor.bsky.social on #Mexico reaction to #Trump trade wars @goldbergradio.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social pod.fo/e/2ab3f6

¿Quihúbole con las mañaneras de AMLO y @claudiasheinbaum.bsky.social? ¿Qué es esta forma de comunicarse? De eso hablamos @alexgonzor.bsky.social y yo con @waleedshahid.bsky.social para @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/worl...

NEW EPISODE: Trump's Trade Wars... @goldbergradio.bsky.social gets a view from #Canada and #Mexico and ponders #Starmer choices over #tarrifs With @hassum.bsky.social and @alexgonzor.bsky.social From @bylinetimes.bsky.social pod.fo/e/2ab3f6

@hassum.bsky.social from Canada and @alexgonzor.bsky.social from Mexico offer progressive perspectives from both borders of Trump's trade wars on the @bylinetimes.bsky.social podcast podfollow.com/1747192337/e...

Why Claudia Sheinbaum is so popular in Mexico has less to do with Trump and everything to do with new economic policy… one which the US president could undermine www.mxpe.org/p/mxpe-weekl...

How did Mexico get so violent? Find out in the latest episode of Mexico: The Podcast www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-pod...

As the US becomes increasingly erratic and authoritarian, it can no longer be considered a reliable partner. It therefore becomes a matter of national security and economic stability for Mexico to diversify its trade relationships. www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-tra...

"If American workers truly want to protect their jobs without sinking to Trump’s xenophobic rhetoric, transnational collaboration between unions in the US and Mexico is the right way to bolster workers’ rights on both sides of the border." - @alexgonzor.bsky.social www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Mexico's secret weapon in Trump's trade war: Inaction www.mxpe.org/p/mxpe-weekl...

As it wages a war against GMOs based on posturing and not science, Mexico threatens its entire supply chain of corn. www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-gmo...

Tariffs aren’t the only way for a country to influence the global economy. These are the cards held by the US and by Mexico: www.mxpe.org/p/mxpe-weekl...

Three decades since the end of the Cold War, the debate rages on: Is State intervention in the economy essential for a country’s growth or is it a disaster waiting to happen? Mexico is about to find out... again. Hear the full story in this ep of Mexico: The Podcast open.spotify.com/episode/6z1Q...

Nice to see my work on Mexico and World War II highlighted here!

Increasingly, analysts cannot help but replace the names and references of WWII with the geopolitics of today. How much will a coming trade war with the US reflect that real war 80 years ago? Will the current crisis result in a stronger or at least more unified Mexico? www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-war...

When Mexico has found itself in Trump’s crosshairs, it has tended to diplomatically hold its ground publicly and then used the imminent danger of the threat to its advantage domestically. Find out how in this week’s Essentials: www.mxpe.org/p/mxpe-weekl...

Born of good intentions, here’s Mexico’s biggest (almost uncovered) trade cockup since Sheinbaum’s inauguration. www.mxpe.org/p/mexico-tar...
