Today on of the top buyers of american corn is Mexico but now because of protests of Trump the Mexican Senator has released a bill saint they will now purchase their corn from Brazil and Argentina. This is their was of showing the US how a hostile relationship has consequences and hopes this will help change the opinion of Trump towards their country and culture.America is one of the largest producers and exporters of corn and in 2015 alone 2.4 billion dollars worth of corn was sent to Mexico so the new bill will cause a major loss on America financially.
I think it was very smart of Mexico to do this and is a wake up call that we need to maintain good relationships with outer countries because you never know when or how they could backfire at you and cause harm to any part of your own country. I also know that corn is a big part of Mexican culture and the food they eat so hopefully their new choice of exporters will be sufficient for them to continue these traditions.
