The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, said that she had a “very cordial” phone call this Thursday (11/07/2024) with the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, who toughened the rhetoric against his southern neighbor prior to his electoral victory. .
“We had a very cordial call with President-elect Donald Trump in which we talked about the good relationship that will exist between Mexico and the United States,” said the president on the social network X.
Mexico is the main trading partner of the United States, after displacing China in 2023.
Sheinbaum, who had already congratulated Trump on Wednesday, believes that “there is no cause for concern” about the victory of the Republican, who threatened during the campaign to impose 25% tariffs on Mexico if it does not stop the “onslaught of criminals and drugs” that They enter the United States.
In her usual press conference this Thursday, before the telephone conversation, the president had indicated that “there is dialogue with the United States and with President Trump”, so if any problem arises, the Mexican government will be able to solve it.
“We are prepared, Mexico is solid in the face of these issues,” Sheinbaum said about the possibility that Trump’s warnings come true.
During the campaign, Trump made the migratory flow and drug trafficking from Mexico fundamental themes of his speech. One day before the elections, the magnate announced that he would quickly notify Sheinbaum about his security and immigration demands.
