Trade war could hit Mexico economy, spur migration
Trucks pass through border customs control before crossing into the US
Mexico City - Arab Today
If President Donald Trump makes good on threats to gut North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and impose stiff tariffs on Mexican goods, economists say he risks a trade war that could lead to the very thing he is hoping to avoid — a huge surge in Mexican migration to the US.
The result would be catastrophe for the Mexican economy: Recession. A dramatic weakening of the peso, even below the historic lows it has already set amid Trump’s bellicose rhetoric. Soaring inflation, interest rates and unemployment.
“Mexico is smaller than the US and can be harmed by conflict more than the US would be,” said Adam Posen, president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, a Washington think tank that supports free trade.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
