The Mexican Chamber of the Construction Industry (CMIC) expressed its support for President Claudia Sheinbaum following comments made by Donald Trump regarding Mexico during his swearing-in ceremony. The chamber reiterated its backing of the Mexican government and called for genuine integration in North America through dialogue for the benefit of all three USMCA nations.
CMIC emphasized the importance of the strategic relationship between Mexico and the United States for economic development, regional security, and the well-being of both nations. It also highlighted the importance of maintaining constructive dialogue and mutual respect between the two countries. CMIC reaffirmed its support for President Sheinbaum's defense of Mexico's sovereignty and the rights of Mexican migrants, along with support for the terms of USMCA.
CMIC also opposed the suggestion of a 25% tariff on Mexican imports to the United States, describing it as an unjustified and unilateral action. The chamber argued that such tariffs would violate USMCA and negatively affect regional competitiveness and the functioning of global supply chains."It reintroduces an outdated protectionism that undermines fair trade and generates adverse economic effects for all three countries, to the detriment of their populations' economic well-being, and quality of life," reads CMIC's statement.
CMIC expressed hope that these issues could be resolved through continued dialogue and collaboration. The chamber also reaffirmed its support for the Mexican government in defending the country's interests, while recognizing the government's efforts with the Mexico te abraza program, intended to provide legal and financial support to Mexican migrants potentially facing deportation from the United States."As a cornerstone of the Mexican private sector, contributing 7% of GDP and over 4.5 million jobs, the construction industry organized under CMIC stands united with our president, confident that, with her vision and leadership, we will overcome the challenges we face together," reads the document.
