A nightclub in Mexico City's Roma Norte neighbourhood has gone viral after announcing a tiered cover charge that costs American citizens nearly $300 (5,000 pesos), while visitors from all other countries pay $20 and Mexicans or Latin Americans pay around $14. Owner Federico Crespo said the policy is a direct response to "a year of insults" from Donald Trump's administration, as well as growing local frustration over the gentrification of trendy districts like Roma and Condesa, where an influx of US digital nomads since the Covid-19 pandemic has driven up rents and displaced residents. Crespo added that the extra revenue from American guests is redistributed to club workers to help offset rising living costs — a gesture that has resonated widely, with the club's Instagram post drawing more than 26,000 likes.
