Mexico has been very closely connected to the United States (US) both economically and politically. Furthermore, approximately ten percent of the population has immigrated to the US. It is assumed that the policies of President-elect Trump, especially on free trade agreements and immigration control, will significantly affect the politics and economy of Mexico. Thus, Mexican people have paid great attention to the next U.S. administration. Professor Tovar\u2019s lecture explained what the victory of Donald Trump means for Mexico from an insider\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n

What does the victory of President-elect Donald Trump mean for Mexico?<\/p><\/div>\n
The lecture focused on factors explaining the victory of Trump and plausible consequences of his policies to Mexico.

In the seminar, graduate students studying international relations and Latin American studies discussed these issues with Professor Tovar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
