Mexico in U.S. Supply Chains: Lessons from 2018-19 Tariffs


Abstract: In the wake of the 2018–19 U.S.-China tariff hikes, there has been a significant shift in U.S. supply chains, with Mexico emerging as the largest supplier of U.S. imports, surpassing China. This shift has been attributed in part to Mexico gaining a cost advantage over China following the U.S tariffs on China.
