Mexican Blowback?

I’m less well-informed about our southern neighbor than I should be, and because I don’t closely follow the news from Mexico, I can’t instinctively assess the credibility of this article by José Cárdenas in National Review. According to his byline, Cárdenas served in senior foreign-policy positions at the State Department, the National Security Council, and the Agency for International Development during the George W. Bush administration, focusing on Latin America, so he sounds as if he’d be well-informed, though some of what he says doesn’t quite make sense to me.

 

Cárdenas warns, “As it now stands, the Trump administration risks provoking a Mexican populist backlash that could result in an anti-American government led by a Hugo Chávez wannabe taking power in 2018, an outcome that could adversely affect U.S. prosperity and security for years to come.”
