"Over the past year, Mexico has had to deal with threats from the United States regarding tariffs and mass deportations, whether or not they have been implemented, or only partially. Much of the pressure has fallen on the north of the country, where returnees arrive and where maquiladoras (factories in duty-free zones) are the first to suffer the effects of the trade war."
"Faced with this situation, President Claudia Sheinbaum has maintained a stance of dialogue, avoiding conflict with Donald Trump while simultaneously maintaining her position of respect for the sovereignty and rights of Mexicans in the United States. In eight months since he returned to the White House, she has not met personally with the U.S. president, but she has weathered his threats, and her relationship with Washington is better than that of Mexico's other major partners, Canada and China,"
Mexico faced U.S. threats of tariffs and mass deportations that concentrated pressure on the northern border, where returnees and maquiladoras first felt economic effects. President Claudia Sheinbaum maintained dialogue with the United States while asserting respect for Mexican sovereignty and the rights of Mexicans in the United States. She did not meet the U.S. president during his first eight months back in office but managed to preserve a better relationship with Washington than with Canada or China. The government established reception camps, including a 2,500-capacity mega-tent in Ciudad Juarez, which has so far processed up to 100 people daily. Authorities regard current repatriations as manageable and are keeping contingency measures in place.
