Mexico: Sheinbaum Seeks Better Communication with Trump

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to threats from US President Donald Trump regarding potential land attacks on Mexico, announcing that she has instructed the Foreign Minister to communicate directly with the US government. The goal is to strengthen coordination and improve communication between the two countries. Trump had stated that the US could begin conducting attacks on Mexico, citing the dominance of drug cartels. Sheinbaum responded that Mexico will not allow its sovereignty to be violated. Sheinbaum's move underscores the importance of maintaining open communication channels with the US, despite Trump's strong statements. The relationship between Mexico and the US is critical for the economic and political stability of both countries. The situation remains tense as the US continues to pressure Mexico to take more drastic measures to combat drug cartels. Sheinbaum has pledged to address the problem, but emphasizes that the solution must be mutually beneficial and respect Mexico's sovereignty.
