Mr. Salinas expressed concerns about the rise of protectionism in some countries, like the U.S., which represents negative news for their consumers, as they will not be able to buy what they want.
He added that as a response to threats to conclude with NAFTA, México should open the country even more, for increased trade, which translates into growing income, more opportunities and a higher quality of life.
