Description
At dawn, container ships from Asia unload at a huge Pacific port in Mexico that so far appears to be weathering the storm unleashed by US President Donald Trump's tariffs.
The Lazaro Cardenas seaport, which covers an area of water and land the size of several thousand football pitches, handles thousands of vehicles and even more auto parts.
Millions of other goods from various industries and origins, mainly in Asia, also arrive at the port.
As well as the logistical challenge, Mexican authorities face mounting pressure from Trump to tackle trafficking of drugs or their precursors through it and other ports. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
