Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has reassured her country that “there’s nothing to worry about” after Donald Trump’s stunning victory in the US presidential election.
But Trump’s extreme campaign promises have left Mexico bracing for punishing tariffs, mass migrant deportations – and even the far-fetched but alarming suggestion of US military strikes on organised crime groups in Mexican territory.
Addressing reporters at her daily press conference, the Mexican leader said: “We are a free, independent, sovereign country and there will be good relations with the United States. I am convinced of this.”
I really want to know who has what power over Sheinbaum. First she continues the policy of non-interference with the cartels, now she says “don’t worry about it” regarding deportations to, and asylum seekers in, her country.
I do think they’ve probably taken a ton of cartel money.
I think this is just regular politics though. The Canadian government is saying the same thing. It’d be weird if they were like, “everybody panic!”, right? If anything, it shows that everyone is really worried about it. And it’s also probably a bad idea to pick a fight before that dickhead is even in office.
Yeah, I would think “this is nothing to worry about” is not something a world leader says in an official statement about another world leader unless they’re super worried.
