Thursday, November 10, 2016


While Costa Rica’s president congratulated Donald Trump in his election victory, private-sector leaders in the coiuntry expressed business leaders’ concerns about  Trump in a public statement.

Because of Trump’s campaign promises to renegotiate trade deals, impose tariffs and also set stricter controls on immigration, the news is “not good for Costa Rica, as our country in the last 30 years has grown thanks, in large part, to its exports, especially to the United States, currently our main trading partner,” one business leader said.
