Spanish-language Cracks Podcast interview with Ildefonso Guajardo (former Mexican Secretary of Economy and lead negotiator for the US–Mexico–Canada Agreement). Guajardo recounts his public-service origins and education, the creation and eventual dissolution of the Instituto Nacional del Emprendedor (INADEM), and detailed, behind-the-scenes stories of negotiating with the Trump administration — including strategic use of targeted retaliatory measures, the ‘vaca morada’ anecdote, and a last-minute walkout to protect automotive‑sector protections. He discusses negotiation principles (know the subject, know the actors, prepare irreducible positions), team cohesion under stress, nearshoring/investment impacts, fiscal/market fragility risks for Mexico, and his post‑government advisory work and focus on education and youth public‑service recruitment.
