President that of Donald Trump choice of Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff worries Mexico – a country that has much to lose after managing to largely appease Trump over the past two years.
Government officials, business leaders and other powerful players in America’s southern neighbor fear that the rise in hard-line action means tensions between Washington and Mexico City are likely to rise – especially if, as many expect, Miller demands that Mexico do even more to crack down on migration and drug cartels. Some fear that Miller will push Trump to authorize direct U.S. military action on Mexican soil.
“No one is happy, to say the least,” said John Feeley a former senior U.S. diplomat specializing in Latin America and who has been in contact with former senior Mexican officials about Miller’s promotion.
The Mexican media Excelsior published a devastating opinion piece Tuesday headlined: “A danger for Mexico named Stephen Miller .”
