When US companies open factories in certain part of Mexico, they usually have to negotiate 'fees' with the local drug cartels, who control the region they are located in.
This is almost standard operating procedures for US factories in certain parts of Mexico now, the cartels try to get monthly payments, but US companies bring in lawyers that specialize in this, and try to negotiate a lump sum, one time pay off.
I have a friend who was a lawyer on one of these teams for a very large US plastic/paper bag manufacturer, they negotiated for months, under the threat of cartels kidnapping factory employees and/or destroying the facilities. They eventually reached a deal of a one time payment, he didnt tell me the amount, but said it was 7 figures.
This is actually illegal for US companies to do, but its become part of doing business in certain parts of Mexico today.
So in hindsight Trump's policies are now funding the drug cartels. idiocracy strikes again!
Rome wasn’t built in a day. We need to bring China to their knees first.
Patience, we have 6 more years to get it done.
Why do we need to bring a country to it's knees?
We INTENTIONALLY nurtured China into prosperity.
