Hello, and welcome to Business Daily on the BBC World Service. I'm Sam Gruet.

On Tuesday, November 5th, hundreds of millions of Americans will go to the polls to pick

the 47th President of the United States. We're going to bring thousands and thousands of businesses

and trillions of dollars in wealth back to the good old USA.

Together, we will build what I call an opportunity economy.

But it's fair to say, the outcome will be felt well beyond the US, none more so than its largest trading partners, Canada to the north and Mexico to the south.

For both Canada and Mexico, who is president next year will matter enormously for trade investment relations.

On today's program, we'll be finding out how America's closest neighbors are preparing for the upcoming election.

We'll speak to the politicians leading diplomatic efforts.

The last time I met former President Trump was at the NATO summit, in fact, in London.

I have yet to meet Vice President Aris.

Here, the hopes and concerns of business owners.

Most of us are just trying to our best, and we just want to have a chance to make our pitch.

And learn what a Trump presidency versus a Harris one could mean for their economies.

It's going to be a wild ride for the next couple of years.

That's coming up on today's Business Daily.

It's a warm Monday morning in the Mexican city of Juarez, just across the border from El Paso in the U.S., where we cross to the BBC's Viani Alderete.

It's 7 a.m. and I'm at the International Bridge of the Americas in Ciudad Juarez.

Here there is a long, long line of cars of people waiting to get to

the U.S. The line extends about two kilometers in length. A significant industrial hub. The city is home

to around 1.5 million people, with an estimated 300,000 crossing the border every day.

And today, given it's Monday morning, people are trying to get to work, like Anna Sophia. Well, obviously, there's a lot of their employment opportunities over there.
