Although every one likes to see jobs come to their country I think the concern is that he is firing off these threats without looking at consequences. Currently five million American jobs are directly attributed to American exports to the very quickly growing Mexican middle class. Starting a tariff war could cost the livelihood of millions of Americans. Countries like Argentina, Brazil and Canada could benefit "bigly" from a trade war between the US and Mexico as that growing middle class is going to buy their products from someone. There are always two sides to a story. I just think negotiation works better in situations like this. Latin America countries are already looking at possible scenarios depending how things go including alternate trade and defense alliances. Sometimes it pays to play nice with neighbours that have options.

Very well said. Looking at the bigger picture.
