Agenda
General agendaEric Jay Toll had this to say [excerpts] recently in this report from Phoenix Business Journal
- In the first months of 2016, CEOs of seven of the nine companies making major moves into the Valley said they saw Arizona as a staging platform for trade into Mexico and then to the rest of the globe. Mexico has trade agreements with 46 countries, some of which do not have agreements with the U.S. Moving U.S. products through Mexico provides access to those 18 additional countries, according to ProMexico, the Mexican economic development authority.
- Ducey, a Republican governor, faces a challenge with both candidates disparaging the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement and expected Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump proposing to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
- The governor was at the event to meet with Mexican secretaries of foreign affairs, agriculture and the economy. He and Sonora, Mexico, Gov. Claudia Pavlovich will be signing memoranda of agreements between the two states.
