This article analyzes the framing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in Mexican opinion pieces published in two major newspapers, El Universal and Reforma, during the first four months of Donald Trump's presidency. The study uses framing and rhetorical criticism as methodological tools to examine how Mexican media covered the potential renegotiation of NAFTA, which was one of Trump's key campaign promises. The analysis reveals that Mexican media reflected a range of perspectives on the implications of the renegotiation for the country. In the past, the article discusses the mixed impacts of NAFTA on Mexico, highlighting both positive outcomes such as economic growth and industrial development, and negative consequences like job losses and economic vulnerability. The present section focuses on the potential benefits of renegotiating NAFTA for Mexico, emphasizing the need for a strategic approach that strengthens Mexico's economic independence and competitiveness. The future section explores possible scenarios, including the cancellation of NAFTA, and its potential consequences for both Mexico and the United States. The study finds that El Universal tends to present more negative interpretations of NAFTA, often pointing to internal Mexican failures, while Reforma offers more positive perspectives, highlighting the benefits of NAFTA for the United States and the potential for a more balanced renegotiation. Both newspapers agree that the renegotiation should be handled with caution, emphasizing the importance of regional cooperation and economic diversification. The article concludes that Mexican media provided a diverse range of perspectives on NAFTA, reflecting the complexity of the issue and the need for careful negotiation to ensure mutual benefits.This article analyzes the framing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in Mexican opinion pieces published in two major newspapers, El Universal and Reforma, during the first four months of Donald Trump's presidency.
