REUTERS\/Andres Stapff<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delays along the U.S.-Mexico border began late last month after U.S. border agents were moved to handle an influx of migrants, slowing the flow of both goods and people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The staffing shortages came shortly after President Donald Trump threatened to close the border if Mexico did not halt a surge of people seeking asylum in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mexico\u2019s Foreign Ministry will present a report to the United States on Thursday detailing the economic costs of the delays, a spokesman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSlowing the flow of goods and the transit of people is a detriment to our economies and for the region\u2019s competitiveness,\u201d the ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is urgent need to improve the transport of goods, as well as deepen mutual cooperation to ensure the efficiency and safety of our common border.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ministry noted that Mexico overtook China to become the top U.S. trade partner in January and February, amid Trump\u2019s trade wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mexico\u2019s foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrard, spoke with northern border states on Monday in preparing to demonstrate to Washington the \u201ccost and uselessness\u201d of holding up border traffic, he said on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The collective losses for companies that rely on cross-border supply chains have reached into the millions. Nearly 30 companies in Ciudad Juarez, on the opposite side of the border from El Paso, Texas, reported losses of $15 million in a single week in early April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ebrard previously said that U.S. officials pledged to help improve the flow of commercial traffic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Directory of sitesLoginContactSupport Business Markets World Politics TV More WORLD NEWSAPRIL 22, 2019 \/ 9:42 PM \/ UPDATED 15 HOURS AGO Mexico flags U.S. border delays as harmful to both countries 2 MIN READ MEXICO CITY (Reuters) &#8211; Mexico\u2019s Foreign Ministry said on Monday that speeding up the flow of goods on the U.S. border is a matter of urgency&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/baileyonlineclassroom.com\/theamericasblog\/2019\/04\/23\/mexico-flags-u-s-border-delays-as-harmful-to-both-countries\/\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":118,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-article"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/baileyonlineclassroom.com\/theamericasblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/baileyonlineclassroom.com\/theamericasblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/baileyonlineclassroom.com\/theamericasblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baileyonlineclassroom.com\/theamericasblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baileyonlineclassroom.com\/theamericasblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3750"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/baileyonlineclassroom.com\/theamericasblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3750\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3753,"href":"https:\/\/baileyonlineclassroom.com\/theamericasblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3750\/revisions\/3753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/baileyonlineclassroom.com\/theamericasblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baileyonlineclassroom.com\/theamericasblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baileyonlineclassroom.com\/theamericasblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
