According to a report, the International Monetary Fund assured that the restrictions imposed by the Government of Donald Trump on China have caused the increase of imports from other nations to US territory. In addition, the tariff effects have yielded benefits to various nations around the world, including Mexico.
"After the United States implemented the imposition of tariffs for US$ 16,0 billion in August 2018, the strong decrease of almost US$ 850 million in imports from China was almost offset by an increase of around US$ 850 million in Mexico, leaving the general imports of the United States practically unchanged," said the IMF.
