Mexico’s Businessman Thanks Trump’s Tariffs

Jorge H. Martínez, owner of Micro Partes in Monterrey, Mexico, has publicly thanked U.S. tariffs for increasing his business. The small company, which previously faced intense competition from Chinese imports in the production of straps, plugs, fasteners, grommets, zip ties, and clamps, has seen a significant rise in demand since the imposition of tariffs.

Micro Partes, a small manufacturing firm based in Monterrey, has benefited from the U.S. tariffs, which have made Chinese imports more expensive and less competitive in the North American market. This has allowed local businesses like Micro Partes to gain a larger market share, as U.S. importers seek to avoid the higher costs of Chinese products.

Martínez has expressed satisfaction with the increased business, attributing the growth to the shift in import patterns influenced by the tariffs. He has also stated that the company is now able to expand its operations and potentially hire more employees, which has a positive impact on the local economy.
