Claudia Sheinbaum as a very intelligent woman, a tough negotiator. However, behind the scenes, the US government has tried to control the discussion with Mexico. The topics of fentanyl, drug trafficking, tariffs, immigration, and narco-politicians have dominated the talks.
This week will be the first face-to-face meeting between the two presidents, and although no specific agenda has been set, immigration and drug trafficking are expected to dominate the conversation.
Sheinbaum has insisted that any negotiations will be based on respect for the country’s sovereignty. Trump has accused her of not accepting US troops on her territory because she is afraid of the cartels.
Trump has a reputation as a misogynist; many are expecting his behavior in the face of a strong president with high popularity ratings and excellent academic and political training.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney invited Claudia Sheinbaum to the G7 summit, which will be held from June 15 to 17 in Kananaskis, Alberta.
The G7 summit will bring together leaders from different countries, both from the member countries (seven, as the name suggests) and six invited guests, including Mexico.
According to Claudia Sheinbaum, in the meeting with Donald Trump, she will defend “with dignity the Mexicans here and across the border,” including those living in the United States.
She had also indicated that she would speak with Donald Trump about the trade relationship, which would cover tariffs, as well as the immigration and security situation between the United States and Mexico, as well as the USMCA.
