For the second time in less than decade, Mexico is preparing to negotiate with President-elect Donald J. Trump, who is threatening the neighboring country with sky-high tariffs, mass deportations and military strikes on cartels.<\/p>\n

The stakes are huge for Mexico\u2019s 130 million people. Among major economies, Mexico is exceptionally dependent on the United States, sending about 80 percent of its exports to the American market.<\/p>\n

Mexico\u2019s top negotiators are adopting an assertive stance to negotiating with Mr. Trump this time around. Some of them can draw from experience dealing with the first Trump administration: Mexico\u2019s populist president at the time, Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador, forged a warm relationship<\/a> with Mr. Trump, and Mexico avoided steep tariffs while acceding to demands to curb migration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will find a solution because we have structural advantages,\u201d Marcelo Ebrard, the economy minister, said this month, listing factors like greater economic interdependence between the two countries and declines in fentanyl deaths and migration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
