With in the world you know that there are countries that are depended on each other with trade. But one trade that is becoming even more popular and demanding is the drug trade in the world. Not only is it becoming popular and demanding, but it is also becoming dangerous. Look at the drug trade us, the United States and Mexico are just two countries that are depending on each other with the drug trade and now it is starting to turn to violence. Since this last year 7,200 deaths have occurred in Mexico dealing with drugs, and is starting to cross over to our border.

It just shows how two countries and depend on each other even when the product is illegal. The US wanted to allow Mexican trucks to haul cargo on American highways but has recently declined it because of the growing drug trade. Mexico has rebelled though and said they will tariffs on 89 American exports causing 2.4 billion dollars on products ranging from pencils to refrigerators for the US if they do not allow Mexican trucks. It just shows how countries can be so depended on each other even with the most terrible products being depended on trade.
