Mexico Cargo Carriers Launch Indefinite Strike Over Insecurity, Extortion

Mexican cargo transport associations (CANACAR, FEMATRAC, HAMOTAC, INDECO) announced an indefinite national strike starting immediately, citing rampant insecurity, extortion, and economic pressure. The strike threatens to halt 21,000 border crossings and 2.6 million tons of goods daily, with estimated losses of 21.5 billion pesos per day, risking supply chain disruptions, fuel shortages, and consumer price increases. The scope and duration remain uncertain, but the impact on cross-border trade with the US is potentially significant.
