In the framework of the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s second term as President of the United States, the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, highlighted the importance of the bilateral dialogue established between the two nations.
Despite tensions arising from migration and trade policies, Sheinbaum stressed the need to maintain open channels of communication to address shared challenges.
Constant communication and cooperation
Sheinbaum highlighted that, since the beginning of Trump’s new term, conversations have taken place both at the presidential level and among secretaries of state.
These interactions have made it possible to coordinate actions on key issues such as migration, security and trade.
The Mexican president emphasized that, although there are differences, cooperation is essential to face common challenges.
Facing migration challenges
One of the most sensitive issues in the bilateral relationship has been migration.
Since January 2025, Mexico has received close to 39,000 deportees from the United States, of which more than 33,000 are Mexican nationals.
Sheinbaum pointed out that, despite the reduction in the number of deportations compared to previous years, the situation is still worrying and requires a joint management respectful of human rights.
Trade tensions and Mexican response
The Trump administration has implemented trade measures that have generated concern in Mexico, such as the imposition of tariffs on Mexican products.
Sheinbaum has responded firmly, defending the country’s economic sovereignty and seeking alternatives to mitigate the impact of these policies.
In addition, it has promoted market diversification and the strengthening of regional trade to reduce dependence on the United States.
We still have the issue of vehicles, steel and aluminum pending, but we remain in communication and hope to reach better agreements
