On this week's Trumponomics, host Stephanie Flanders focuses on Mexico, one of America's largest trading partners and a nation with a lot at stake in Donald Trump's global trade war. Flanders is joined by Alex Vasquez, Bloomberg economy and government reporter in Mexico City, and Felipe Hernandez, who covers Latin America for Bloomberg Economics. They discuss how Mexico’s first female president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has navigated Trump’s chaotic tariff threats and retreats and what’s at stake for her country’s economic future. The episode unpacks how Mexico might just turn the trade tables on the Republican president and, even outgrow the US by 2030.
