Cemex

When tRump talks about levying tariffs on products coming from Mexico, this will likely include cement. Lots of cement if you're talking about infrastructure, or maybe a wall.

Cemex is based in Mexico and they are one of the largest concrete and cement products producers in North America. It would become a major hurdle to pull off major infrastructure projects without buying concrete products from Cemex. Many smaller concrete providers buy from larger companies like...Cemex.

Mexico could make rebuilding anything larger than a patio in this country real $$$$!!

Amazing to witness how what happens when unfiltered information comes out of the White House is having a disastrous result when not funneled through the proper channels. Trump/Bannon is attempting to bully its way with these executive orders and when slapped back with resistance there's a sudden roll-back of the order. I'm thinking that it's Bannon who's writing the original Executive Orders and then Trump comes in later to dial it back.
