Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum assured thousands of supporters in Mexico City's Zocalo Square that Mexico's sovereignty remains a top priority amid U.S. tariff tensions. Addressing the massive crowd waving national flags, she emphasized Mexico’s significant economic contributions to the U.S. and the importance of respectful diplomacy.
"We cannot give up our sovereignty or allow foreign governments to harm our people. We will always act immediately," Sheinbaum declared, reinforcing Mexico's stance in global trade relations.
Tensions escalated when U.S. President Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods on March 4, citing their failure to curb fentanyl trafficking. However, after a phone conversation with Sheinbaum, Trump announced a temporary exemption for Mexican goods under the USMCA agreement until April 2, citing "respect" for the Mexican leader.
At the rally, Sheinbaum framed the event as a "festival" celebrating national pride and unity. She credited "respectful dialogue" for achieving results and urged citizens to stay informed in case further action was needed. "Do you agree?" she asked, receiving a resounding "Yes!" from the enthusiastic crowd.
Mexico’s economic ties with the U.S. remain crucial, and Sheinbaum’s firm yet diplomatic approach signals her commitment to protecting national interests while maintaining cooperation. The situation remains fluid, but for now, Mexico has secured a reprieve, reinforcing Sheinbaum’s image as a strong leader on the international stage.
