China has strengthened trade with Latin America at the expense of the U.S. But Donald Trump, who threatens to raise tariffs on Mexico, could upend those ties.

Mexico’s government on Monday launched a plan to shrink its yawning trade deficit with China and attract investment, in an olive branch to Donald Trump’s incoming US administration.

The country should make the best of a difficult situation by insisting on transparency.

The migration of manufacturing to Mexico could undermine Trump’s promise to voters that ratcheting up tariffs on China would incentivize companies to bring production back to the U.S and give American companies a more even playing field.
