“Yesterday we had a call with President Trump. As he mentioned on his account, it was very productive. We will continue talking to reach good agreements that benefit our countries and our people,” the president said on X.

Through his Truth Social network, the leader of the neighboring nation had described the call with the president as very productive.

On April 2, Trump announced so-called reciprocal tariffs on the rest of the world, but kept tariffs on products from Mexico and Canada at zero, covered by the North American Free Trade Agreement (USMCA), through which most trade in the region flows.

The following day, Sheinbaum attributed the recognition of the trade agreement between the three nations to the good relations established with the administration of the neighboring northern territory, something she considered essential at this time.

Thursday’s statements come amid negotiations undertaken by Mexico due to Washington’s tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automotive products from all countries, although in the latter case there are specifics for Mexico and Canada.
