Mexico’s president stated on Tuesday her commitment to safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty and independence while also engaging in dialogue with U.S. President Donald Trump. This announcement came a day after Trump commenced his new term with a series of executive orders aimed at addressing migration issues.
President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized that her administration would approach migration with a “humanitarian” perspective, while also committing to the repatriation of foreign migrants to their countries of origin.
On his second day in office, Trump is anticipated to issue additional executive orders, following his Monday directives that classified Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations and proposed potential tariffs on exports from Mexico and Canada to the United States starting in February.
During her regular morning press briefing, Sheinbaum remarked that Trump’s recent actions, including a declaration of a national emergency regarding illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, mirror those taken during his first term.
She further affirmed her government’s intention to collaborate on security and other issues with the United States and expressed a commitment to revising trade agreements in 2026. The peso showed signs of recovery on Tuesday morning, trading at 20.6489 per dollar.
