Meanwhile, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador assured that there will be good relations with all peoples and governments of the world.
“They will respect us, just as we will respect other nations. They will continue to respect Mexico, because we do not want to be a colony of any foreign country again,” he said.
This Saturday, Donald Trump recalled the negotiation he had with the then Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Marcelo Ebrard, on the border wall in 2019; when he threatened the Mexican government to deploy elements of the National Guard to stop migration, otherwise they would apply tariffs.
“They gave us everything, I won. I got everything from Mexico,” he said.
He immediately added: “So this stupid person with a low IQ. I guarantee you it’s the lowest IQ, 50 to 60, and he’s negotiating against Putin, President Xi of China; Macron of France.”
This created confusion in Mexico, because Claudia Sheinbaum and Marcelo Ebrard considered that these statements were in reference to the next Secretary of Economy, but they were against Joe Biden.
Following the statements, the future president wrote on her X account that she regretted Donald Trump’s foul language and that for her Marcelo Ebrarb would be a “great Secretary of the Economy.”
