shortly after Trump came to power so they wouldn't be in a position that they needed our trade to survive.

Pretty smart moves on their parts. Mexico especially made deals with the EU on farm and dairy products.

I believe both joined that Pacific trade group that Trump backed out of.

So right now they don't need us like they once did.
