This kind of political unstability is not good for the business environment in the US.

Also, NAFTA is still the law of the land, since congress has not ratified its replacement (https://www.vox.com/2019/5/31/186471...o-canada-usmca). ALso consider that said replacement is not that different from NAFTA itself and would not change much of anything.
BMWAG has had a relationship with the Mexican Govt going back to around 1994.

Something like 50 percent of a vehicle's content had to be Mexican sourced.
