The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, expressed confidence that there would be no increase in tariffs imposed by Donald Trump. However, her previous statements on this issue have not proven accurate, leading to a disruption in her work agenda. Recently, the U.S. State Department communicated to the Mexican government about the temporary suspension of tariffs to allow for an understanding.
Despite Trump reversing his threats and temporarily suspending tariffs, uncertainties remain regarding his next moves. The possibility of reviewing the trade agreement between Mexico, the U.S., and Canada is being discussed to avoid new trade tensions. The strategy of handing over drug traffickers to appease Trump has not worked.
Within this context, Sheinbaum has opted for a civilized stance towards Trump, avoiding provocations like those experienced with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Despite the pressure and criticism, the president held a rally to show support against the imposition of tariffs, although some of her advisors suggested its cancellation.
Regarding Trump's upcoming actions and his relationship with Canada, uncertainty continues. The Mexican government's strategy in this situation has also generated debate and criticism. Meanwhile, Sheinbaum seeks to maintain her popular approval through political decisions and speeches at key moments of this trade crisis.
