Arizona and Mexico officials to meet for trade summit, address tariff concerns
ASU supply chain management expert calls Arizona-Mexico Summit a smart, strategic move for protecting local jobs.
In this story aired June 27, 2025, on Arizona's Family, an ASU supply chain management expert called the summit a positive move for Arizona businesses, noting that in a climate of tariff uncertainty, strengthening ties with Mexico is a smart, strategic decision.
If tomorrow, Mexico trade was gone completely, 3.5% of the jobs would completely go away today. Our unemployment rate is 4.1%. Imagine what would happen if 3.1%, or 110,000 jobs, completely vanish.
