Sheinbaum, Trump Pledge Trade Cooperation
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Thursday that she held a "very positive" conversation with United States President Donald Trump, with both leaders agreeing to deepen trade cooperation between their two countries. The discussion marks a continued effort to strengthen bilateral ties despite previous tensions in the relationship.
Sheinbaum stated that both sides are committed to improving the trade balance, emphasizing that ministers of finance and economy from each government will remain engaged in the coming days to explore alternative strategies and resolve pending trade issues. She added that the goal is to achieve outcomes that are beneficial for both Mexico and the United States.
“We had a very positive conversation,” Sheinbaum said. “Our teams will continue to work closely to ensure fair and balanced trade.”
The statement did not provide details on specific actions or agreements made during the call. However, the reaffirmed commitment from both leaders signals a shift toward constructive engagement and shared economic interests.
President Trump, who has emphasized stronger trade deals and reciprocal economic partnerships throughout his presidency, has long pushed for adjustments in trade dynamics with Mexico. Sheinbaum’s remarks reflect a willingness from the Mexican side to collaborate on these goals through diplomatic and ministerial channels.
The renewed dialogue comes at a time when both countries are navigating complex economic challenges. Analysts see the communication as a positive sign of stability and alignment between North America's two largest economies, though observers await concrete developments from the ongoing negotiations.
