Well yes, but I haven’t seen many US geopolitical decisions that could be considered “sane” over the past 8 years or so. They also used to rely a lot on China a while back, but the bi-partisan “trade war” keeps escalating. Biden might just sleepwalk into this one too, accelerating the US isolation even more just to “look strong.”
But by “weather the storm” I mean the other tactics short of sanctions the US has perfected over the past 70 years to try and keep Latin American countries within their control. Colour revolutions, mass disinformation campaigns, financing reactionary liberal parties, stuff like that.
They could tighten the noose around key figures and their bases of wealth. It does not take much for capitalists to squeal and turn on the government if their capital is threatened in any way whatsoever. It doesn’t even need to be an extreme or total sanction, just enough to anger some capitalists and then turn them on the government.
Considering that a shit ton of US industries are in Mexico, i don’t think they can easily sanction us. Also mexico is a huge % of their trade.
