This intensifying conflict could strain relations and disrupt trade between the nations, risking billions in investments. Experts warn that a prolonged disagreement could hinder economic growth and recovery. As Mexico maintains its position, this standoff highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing national interests with international obligations.
