USA besides the import of Mexican beer after everything else Mexico imports to the USA if the USA doesn't pay the 500% increase after one year USA Is going to loose like 7 billion plus or minus 2 billion
People who go swimming in these caves are the real problem. These caves are sacred to the natives not swimming pools!
USA you got no choice you have to pay the 500% increase or give Mexico 7 billion. At the end of one year of not paying if USA doesn't pay the 500% then USA come on you know the best choice is to pay the 500% which is nothing to 7 billion or 10 blion….I do buisnnes transactions and every decision is money…
If I was the Mexican president I would tax the USA 1000% increase for everything that is imported from Mexico to the USA and every day that they don't pay is a 1000% increase so 2000 3000 etc …..deny entry to Mexico for Americans and I'll make Mexicans eat beans and Rice. ..USA government you guys want To play chicken I can play chicken my whole life. ..
If I was the Mexican president I'll make richest man in Mexico give me money to create a necromancer army that's all Mexico needs to become a first world country… then I was going to install Tesla towers all around the usa and Mexican border an a electric magnetic field cause that's how USA understands Mexico is a first world country. ……
That train will derail and collapse under the weight …. Needs to be cancelled…ASAP.
No way they finish 950 miles—-
Once it’s complete I’ll head down there
😂😂😂NBC you are part of the joke tooooo 😂😂😂😂 Ridiculous !😂😂😂😂
what is not mentioned here is that USA is directly backing up the legal adversaries with money from an "NGO" because they didnt get priority on the project . even China is doing part of it , so yes its affecting to a degree but nothing compared to what usa and canadas companies and mining companies that are extracting minerals.but guess that wont be on the news cause it affects their $$
They’re gonna turn it into the pyramids, back dropped by a big major city
If this project is handled well with control on corruption then this will only protect the area not destroy it, plus, more money incoming due to tourism so long as tourism is handled with complete respect to history and nature, it is possible! Just avoid corruption!
♨️Great stream, as always. I appreciate the level-headed approach you take to the news and the markets. A lot has changed and that's on everything but the truth is I don't even care much about bullish or bearish market anymore because Mrs Alice got me cover as I am comfortably making 1.5B T C monthly…
Ya valió verga México 🇲🇽 destruyendo la Maravilla que tiene
NBC has nothing positive to say about the train just like CNN fake news they talk about the Mexican president like they did whit trump!
This is great! I love this president and I only just started following his progress! Que siga adelante puro Mexico!!! 💪💯
Indigenous sites …. Put it in a museum. Then build. People need progress
imagine if they built a train through stonehenge… we so rarely honor sacred sites of color & the disruption of ecosystems seems unimaginable in 2022
Viva el tren maya
This is terrible and this project must stop!!!
What a biased report. Shame on you. Your skewed view on this project is laughable. You failed to interview Mayan people that support the project. (millions of them) since it will improve their lives. Instead you chose to interview a SPANIARD. The Mexican President was born in the South. He more than anyone cares for the well being of Southern Mexicans. He is not a corrupt politician and is in fact providing archeological assistance for the unearthed artifacts. Pseudo environmentalists like you or people that criticize this project without facts will be the first ones aboard the train. SHAME ON NBC NEWS
Awesome project 👏🏽
It's gonna create more jobs which means more food in the belly shelter over ones head and 💰 in the Pocket to buy water for health is the true wealth 🤔🤔🤔🧘🧘🧘💯
Mayans get to much Glory for acting like the 911 terrorist killing innocent people just to have a greater after than there present life or even to have a better on earth 🤔🤔🤔💯
The only reason there is little crime in the Yucatan Peninsula is because it is hard for the cartels to get there now it won't
Lml keep Mexicans out but invade their land
