IM GIVING BRAINLIEST TO THE FIRST PERSON TO GIVE ME 2 PARAGRAPHS The United States buys 81 percent of all Mexican exports. In one or two paragraphs, describe how this affects Mexico's economy and politics.

The economic and trade relationship with Mexico is of interest to U.S. policymakers because of

Mexico’s proximity to the United States, the extensive trade and investment relationship under

the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the conclusion of the NAFTA

renegotiations and the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), as well as the strong cultural

and economic ties that connect the two countries. Also, it is of national interest for the United

States to have a prosperous and democratic Mexico as a neighboring country. Mexico is the

United States’ third-largest trading partner, while the United States is, by far, Mexico’s largest

trading partner. In 2019, Mexico surpassed China as the United States’ largest trading partner. It

ranks second, after China, as a source of U.S. imports, and second, after Canada, as an export

market for U.S. goods and services. The United States is the largest source of foreign direct

investment (FDI) in Mexico.
