US Imports More Goods from Mexico Than from China

After decades, the United States is now buying more goods from Mexico than from China. Tensions and tariffs have strained the relationship between the US and China, leading to a shift in trade flows. Mexico has capitalized on this shift, with 80% of its goods being imported by land, making it a convenient trade partner for the US. The decoupling between the US and China has been accelerating due to various factors, including tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and Biden's push to reshore manufacturing. However, some companies may still be routing Chinese-made goods through other countries to avoid US tariffs.
