Automotive Competition: North America vs. Asia 🚗🌎 It’s hard for me to see how Trump could implement the ideas mentioned in the article shared by my good friend Raúl Moreno, “Trump Hates EVs, But Welcomes China To Build Cars In The U.S.” 🤔 Why would the United States allow Chinese manufacturers to enter if they have more advanced technology? I truly hope that strategies are implemented in North America to compete with Asia, as it has everything needed to do so. 🌎 China has surpassed the United States in many aspects and is setting up in Mexico, where Nuevo León is offering them all the facilities. The state has been investing in infrastructure for the past two years, including the connection to the Colombia bridge, security along the Monterrey-border route, lane expansions, and agreements between the governors of Nuevo León and Texas for efficient crossings. Additionally, controlled security in Nuevo León, mobility infrastructure, four fully stocked dams (finally), and excellent available labor, among other factors, make it hard not to set up there. 🚀 It’s no coincidence that Fareed Zakaria of CNN has presented a special documentary studying the complex relationship between the United States and Mexico, titled “America’s Mess with Mexico.” 🎥

The tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland will likely cause temporary disruptions to certain industries, notably #automotives. The duration of the disruptions at the Port of #Baltimore, along with how quickly trade can be rerouted, will determine the economic costs. In US$ terms, Baltimore handles the 2nd largest amount of US automotives port #trade, with its share of automotives trade as a proportion of its total trade around 33% (see chart below). So far, major automakers have either been unaffected or seen little disruption while firms like #GeneralMotors and #Ford have been able to reroute shipments. This event will likely have greater economic implications for the Baltimore #economy than nationally. We don’t anticipate that the disruptions to trade or transportation will be visible in #US GDP, and the implications for #inflation are minimal.

The text draws parallels between the fall of the Roman Empire, largely due to unchecked inflation as per Edward Gibbon's account, and potential risks in the modern U.S. economy.

Lessons from history, like the Roman Empire's ill-fated attempts at price control through the Edict of Diocletian, are highlighted to maintain a sustainable balance in the U.S. economic system.
