President Claudia Sheinbaum urged to remain calm and act objectively in response to the decrees signed by President Trump, emphasizing that what matters are legal actions beyond speeches. In this regard, she chose not to address the tariff issue, opting to methodically discuss different points.
Firstly, Trump classified drug cartels as "terrorists," which accelerated contact with the DEA and FBI. The president expressed optimism regarding the willingness for dialogue expressed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Regarding the trade agreement, Sheinbaum highlighted that the review process has begun, and under no circumstances should negotiations be lost. She pointed out the importance of staying calm in the face of the threat of tariffs, emphasizing that for Mexico and the world in general, the Gulf of Mexico remains significant.
Subsequently, she touched on the topic of classifying cartels as terrorist organizations, expressing that steps are being evaluated moving forward with this approach. Concerning Mexico's security and sovereignty, the president reiterated that it is a sensitive topic, both politically and commercially, and more details about the operationality of this measure should be awaited.
Sheinbaum emphasized the importance of maintaining Mexico's humanitarian immigration policy, seeking repatriation in an orderly and respectful manner. In light of the uncertainty and nervousness in the Palace due to the potential market reaction after the imposition of tariffs since February, authorities seek to maintain calm and act in a coordinated manner.
In conclusion, without losing sight of defending Mexico's sovereignty and independence, the president called for moderation and patience for dialogue between the two countries to address the changes established in the decrees signed by President Trump.
