As US and Canada trade barbs, it’s so far so good for Mexico’s Sheinbaum

In announcing the decision to postpone some customs tariffs on Mexico for another month, US President Donald Trump was in pain for his Mexican counterpart, Claudia Shinbom.

“I did this as a residency, with respect for President Shinabum,” he wrote on his social media website. “Our relationship was very good and we are working hard, together on the border.”

The comments were in a flagrant contradiction with the type of language he used for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who continues to be referred to as “Governor Trudeau”, while he was calling Canada Country 51.

The War of Words continues – if it is not a trade yet – between Canada and the Trump administration with Prime Minister Trudeau describes the entire definition policy as “stupid” and US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessin, described it as “Numbskull” in return.

The difference in tone between the United States neighbor to the north and the south cannot be more surprising.

Some, especially in the Claudia Shinbum camp, see that it is evidence of its preserved deal with an unpredictable leader in the White House, who made several bold data on the intention, just to be retracted or settled.

Certainly, President Shinbom presented an individual message from the beginning: Mexicans must “keep quiet” to Trump, she said, insisting that “cold heads will prevail.”

In this sense, it was so, very good for the Mexican leader.

Twice, now, within two months, she managed to avoid imposing fees on Mexican goods by 25 % through a phone call at the last minute of President Trump-even though he said he was “no room” to negotiate.

It is a testimony for her diplomacy that Trump appears to be truly estimated at her dialect, clarity and general behavior in their interactions.

It has declared accepting publicly that Mexico did not do enough in any of the main border issues that Trump demanded to take action from his neighbors: Fantanil trafficking And immigration is not documented in the north.

A press conference began on Thursday morning by referring to new personalities from the American Customs and Protection Agency, which shows that fentiannets have decreased to 263 kilograms, and their lowest levels in 3 years. It represents a 75 % decrease in the last six months of its presidency.

When the customs tariff was avoided in February, Shinbaum agreed to deploy 10,000 soldiers on the US -Mexican border.

Its administration also delivered it (although they prefer the word “expelling”) 29 drug cartoons characters To the United States to confront a trial for murder to money laundering, including the head of the higher drugs, Rafael Caro Quintro, who was required by the American authorities since the mid -1980s.

Perhaps these measures that Trump used to have said when he said that the two countries were “working hard, together” on the security of the border.

Moreover, the ball was often thrown again towards the American president.

From where the weapons armed by the Carttals are asking, they ask a communication, and he publicly called on the United States to make more effort to reduce the flow of weapons south and address their demand for illegal drugs. It indicates that medications may come from Latin America, but the market for consumption is an overwhelming majority in the United States.

Even when the Trump administration recently identified six Mexican Cartes as “foreign terrorist organizations”, it seemed to enhance its hand.

This is because its administration is currently involved in a legal battle with American arms manufacturers due to neglect. She said that American arms makers allowed their products to reach terrorists instead of just criminals, Mexico can expand a lawsuit, to include a new charge of “collusion” with terrorist groups.

However, while President Xinbom has a strong start to its presidency – both local and in the eyes of the world – in order to deal with Trump, it should be noted that these first days are in her bilateral relationship.

“I think she played the hand that she dealt with well,” said Mexican economist Valeria Moy. “I am not sure that the time has come to celebrate yet. But I think it has done what she could face the threat of definitions. It is not logical that either sides enter into a commercial war.”

She seems to have refused to retreat from unreasonable requests or issues of real importance, while not similarly appearing for services or satisfaction with the demands of the White House.

This is not an easy way to navigate.

In some questions – the Gulf of Mexico is called by Trump The Gulf of AmericaFor example – it can remain above the battle, knowing that most people around the world are unlikely to adopt their favorite terms.

On others, especially definitions, the risks are much higher; There is a risk that constant stability and instability in this issue will lead the Mexican economy to recession.

The Mexican Bizo weakened again during this last episode, and although Shinabum claims that the country’s economy is strong, the markets clearly prefer a more reliable and reliable relationship with the United States. Mexico remains the largest commercial partner of the United States, after all.

When she spoke to President Shinbom in the campaign’s campaign last year, shortly before the history of history by becoming the first woman in Mexico, she said that she will not face any problem working with Trump’s presidency again and that she would “always defend” what was appropriate for Mexicans – including millions who reside in the United States.

She told me, “We must always defend our country and our sovereignty.”

With many of these three neighbors in recent days, it is easy to forget that Trump’s presidency is only six weeks old.

The new relationship with the White House in front of it is a long road, with a re -negotiation of the USMCA trade agreement next year. But certainly, in the midst of all the political theater, Claudia Shinbom will be happier than Justin Trudeau with how to start it.
