A solid relationship between the United States and Mexico is essential to face common challenges and promote cooperation at the international level, strengthening both countries' positions on the global stage. Beyond the economic benefits, the importance of a good relationship with Mexico for the United States encompasses security, immigration management, cultural exchange, and geopolitical considerations.
The United States and Mexico share a border of over 3,000 kilometers, an intertwined history, and a deep economic, social, and cultural interdependence, making both countries mutually dependent. From an economic perspective, Mexico is one of the United States' main trading partners, and the relationship between the two nations is one of the most complex and multifaceted in the world.
However, recently, relations between the United States and its closest neighbors, including Mexico, have been affected by President Donald Trump's chaotic economic "doctrine." Constant threats of soft coups, interventionism, and tariffs have weakened bilateral cooperation, putting the fight against organized crime and the free trade model of the USMCA at risk, which has generated significant benefits for both parties.
Tensions have been evident, with commercial relations and economic stability at stake. In a constantly evolving geopolitical context, having Mexico as a strategic partner is essential for the security and stability of the region. Despite the challenges, fostering a relationship based on mutual respect, cooperation, and understanding is crucial for the well-being and prosperity of both countries.
In other news, we recognize the political maturity demonstrated by the governor of Querétaro, Mauricio Kuri, by prioritizing unity and sensibility over party colors. He announced his participation in a rally convened by President Claudia Sheinbaum. Additionally, Mexico has been an important destination for U.S. exports, and the Mexican teaching profession has filed demands for salary improvements and the strengthening of the educational program "La Escuela es Nuestra."
In economic data, Mexico positioned itself as the main trading partner of the United States in 2024, with a considerable economic spillover. On the other hand, Querétaro will receive significant foreign investment from companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, highlighting the strength and appeal of the state for foreign investment.
