In a significant gesture of diplomacy, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced plans to hold a "cordial" phone call with President-elect Donald Trump later this morning. This will mark the first conversation between the two leaders since Trump’s victory in the U.S. election on Tuesday, signaling an early commitment to mutual respect and cooperation between the neighboring nations.
During her morning press conference, President Sheinbaum expressed intentions to congratulate Trump and emphasized the importance of continued dialogue on issues impacting both nations. "It will be a cordial call to congratulate [Trump], and later there will be time to discuss all of the issues on the bilateral agenda," she stated. The call comes at a critical time as topics like trade, migration, and security—key aspects of U.S.-Mexico relations—played a substantial role in the recent U.S. presidential election.
Sheinbaum, who had previously sent a letter to Trump extending congratulations, reiterated her commitment to strengthening Mexico’s relationship with its top trading partner. She has pledged to work closely with the incoming U.S. administration to address challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, from economic partnerships to addressing complex migration policies.
With Trump set to return to the White House early next year, this conversation marks a positive step toward reestablishing communication and setting the stage for collaborative discussions on bilateral issues. Observers note that this cordial beginning bodes well for a constructive relationship focused on stability, prosperity, and security for both nations.
