The President of the Mexican Senate, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, said “Donald Trump is a difficult guy, but he does not eat fire, he knows very well the importance of the relationship with our country, he knows very well the importance of the Mexican community in the United States and that he had very important support from Mexicans during the election.” He also mentioned that “Claudia Sheinbaum has the ability, firmness, character, preparation, and the popular support to get along with him correctly.”
Congressman Raúl Torres, who is House Representative of Mexicans Abroad, spoke with the press “Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration will have to reinforce the security strategy on the southern border by deploying the National Guard and strengthening the presence of the National Migration Institute.
Likewise, she must change the narrative and a new way of negotiating with the U.S. given the upcoming negotiation of the USMCA trade deal. She must put at the center an economic agenda to empower Mexicans in the United States, whose weight is increasing every day since many of them open businesses, generate jobs, and voted for Donald Trump.”
Experts consider it is still early and uncertain to know the extent to which Sheinbaum’s government will be open to changing certain positions and policies to benefit the relationship with the United States. Mainly in security, since her predecessor preferred to protect criminal groups instead of fighting them.
Sheinbaum promised continuity in everything, and security policy could be the point of most tension with the coming Trump administration.
