Mexico's President Sheinbaum says she will work with Trump on deportations, border issues and cartels, but laughs at his 'Gulf of America' order.
The Sheinbaum administration is gathering data to argue against tariffs, emphasizing their potential to harm U.S. economic growth and inflation.
Here's how Mexico's politicians, lawmakers and party leaders have responded to the return of Donald Trump to the White House.
All along the 2,000-mile border, business leaders, border agents, migrants and their advocates are bracing for change in U.S. policies on trade and immigration.
President Claudia Sheinbaum is detaining more migrants, seizing more fentanyl and positioning her country as a key ally against China. But the U.S. stance has shifted, too.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum called Tuesday for "cool heads" in the face of US President Donald Trump's announcement of severe new restrictions on migration, among other policy changes.
The order did not list any Mexican cartels by name but said Cabinet secretaries would recommend groups for designation as terrorist organizations in the next 14 days.
Isolating U.S. companies from cartel activities could be almost impossible given that the criminal groups operate in sectors like agriculture and tourism, leaving some American businesses vulnerable to sanctions.
President Claudia Sheinbaum said that Mexico would return to their countries of origin migrants stranded there by US immigration restrictions.
Mexico City's makeshift migrant camp was full of uncertainty on Monday after the Trump administration ended a Biden-era border app that gave legal entry to nearly 1 million people.
The plan, called "Yes to Disarmament, Yes to Peace," will offer cash to those who anonymously leave weapons at designated drop-off locations.
Mexico is a free, independent and sovereign country. As I have said, we coordinate and we collaborate, but we don’t become subordinated.”
