U.S. President Donald Trump announced that starting August 1, 2025, a 30% tariff will be imposed on all goods imported from Mexico and the European Union. Trump cited Mexico’s failure to stop the flow of fentanyl and other narcotics as a major concern, accusing the country of not doing enough to combat drug cartels. He also criticized the EU for persistent trade deficits and protectionist policies, calling for more balanced trade. In addition to Mexico and the EU, Trump sent tariff warning letters to over 20 countries, including Japan, South Korea, and Brazil, threatening duties ranging from 20% to 50% unless new trade agreements are reached. Trump emphasized that companies from these regions could avoid tariffs by relocating manufacturing to the U.S., promising expedited approvals. The announcement sparked worries in Mexico about rising costs and economic disruption, while EU officials condemned the tariffs as unfair, pledging to continue negotiations before the August deadline.

On July 4, hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Mexico City to protest against growing gentrification, especially in neighborhoods like Colonia Condesa. Protesters highlighted the rising cost of living, including a 47% surge in rents over the past five years, which has led to the displacement of long-term residents. A major concern is the influx of affluent U.S. migrants, many of whom work remotely and are drawn by Mexico City’s comparatively low cost of living. These foreigners can stay for up to 180 days without a visa, often rotating their stays to avoid legal restrictions. Protesters called for more regulated migration and for foreign residents to contribute more meaningfully to the local economy. According to activist Eduardo Alanis, government policies tend to favor wealthier newcomers over local communities. The protest reflects growing backlash against policies and economic shifts that prioritize foreign investment and lifestyles over the stability and needs of local populations.
