President Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration is considering policy changes to address challenges from Trump’s return. She aims to protect Mexico’s economy and manage immigration while maintaining a positive U.S. relationship. She reassured the public that Mexico would uphold its sovereignty in dealings with the U.S.
Rodrigo Montes de Oca stated that the bilateral relationship will now cover broader issues, like trade and security, not just immigration. He warned that Mexico may struggle with this shift under Trump’s administration.
With Trump’s stricter immigration plans, Mexico is expected to strengthen its own border controls and cooperate more with the U.S. This approach seeks to balance U.S. concerns with Mexico’s sovereignty and humanitarian efforts.
Mexico continues to manage migration with the National Guard and repatriation flights, aiming to curb migrant flows. The country also works closely with U.S. authorities on these issues.
In response to potential U.S. tariffs, Mexico might impose its own on U.S. imports. Mexico also plans to enhance security measures to protect against possible U.S. military action on drug cartels.
