Donald Trump will not be taking office until January 2025 but there is already anticipation around what his administration's relationship with Mexico will look like. On the week prior to the election, the Republican warned that he would impose up to 100% tariffs on the neighboring country if recently elected Claudia Sheinbaum fails not help reduce the flow of migrants across the border to a level of his liking.
Sheinbaum, on her end, has favored caution, speaking with Trump shortly after his victory and describing the call as "a very cordial" one. Sheinbaum also looked to appease the Mexican population by saying that both governments "will continue working together in a coordinated manner, with dialogue and respect for our sovereignties, to advance the broad bilateral agenda that connects us."
