The neighbor to the north cannot stop buying from us
The numbers are compelling and speak for themselves. In the middle of 2025, with all the protectionist rhetoric on the table, Mexico sold goods to the United States for a whopping 534,874 million dollars. A growth of 5.8% is not just a piece of information, it is a blow to the table.
This performance was recorded despite the tariff policy promoted by President Donald Trump’s government.
There’s the detail. The narrative of conflict and tariffs hits the wall of economic reality. The productive chains, integrated as a single body under the T-MEC, proved to be stronger than any political discourse.
A surplus that tells another story
Not only did we sell more. The trade balance tilted drastically in our favor. Mexico registered a historical surplus of almost 197 billion dollars. To put it in perspective: Every month last year, we beat the world’s most powerful economy by a solid $14.2 billion.
US imports to our country also grew, up to 337.96 billion. But the net flow was clear and forceful. This total bilateral exchange, which was close to 873 billion, consolidates Mexico as the main trading partner of the United States, leaving Canada and China behind.
The integration is so deep that it seems irreversible. Every time someone in Washington talks about decoupling or imposing barriers, the facts respond with record numbers. The USMCA is no longer just a treaty; It is the backbone of an economic relationship that defines the destiny of both nations.
The resilience of our economy in the face of international adversity is not a slogan. There are trucks crossing the northern border every minute, there are factories operating 24 hours a day. It’s real life beating political theater.
