The president is facing the opportunity to define the course of her government and leave her mark on history. However, the current situation between Mexico and the United States is not simple. Problems such as insecurity and disorderly migration, as well as alleged alliances with leftist countries, have created tensions with the Trump administration.
In his inauguration speech, Trump announced controversial measures, such as mass deportations, the "Stay in Mexico" policy, and the designation of Mexican cartels as terrorists. All of this is part of a strategy to instill fear and reinforce his leadership.
Trump, obsessed with the greatness of his country’s past, seeks to leave his own historical legacy during his short term. His conservative stance contrasts with the Mexican government, which faces the challenge of maintaining calm and seeking solutions to the problems posed by its northern neighbor.
The United States' exit from the Paris Agreement and the regressive energy policy mark a global setback. The integration of a cabinet aligned with Trump’s ideas and his far-right populist approach generate uncertainty in the international political and economic landscape.
In this context, Mexico must demonstrate resilience and determination to negotiate from a position of strength and resolve pending issues. It is crucial to avoid ideological confrontation and seek concerted solutions that benefit both nations. The future of the Mexico-United States relationship will depend largely on the ability of both parties to engage in dialogue and reach mutually beneficial agreements.
