SAN LUIS POTOSI, Mexico — During his campaign, Donald Trump called American investment in this city “an absolute disgrace.” He lobbied Ford to stop building a $1.6 billion factory here, and the company acceded.
It appeared that this colonial capital, booming thanks to auto companies lured by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), could be undone by the Trump administration’s efforts to gut one of the world’s most profitable free-trade zones.
