The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, appeared before thousands of citizens in the Zócalo square of the Mexican capital to give a report on the negotiations with the United States on the issue of tariffs.

During her speech, the president detailed the actions being taken by her administration to combat the passage of fentanyl into U.S. territory, as well as to address the issue of migration.

10 key phrases by President Claudia Sheinbaum

Claudia Sheinbaum’s speech was also highlighted by key phrases that marked her report this Sunday, March 9:

“We cannot yield in our sovereignty, nor can our people be affected by decisions made by foreign governments or hegemonies, in that case we will always act immediately.”

“We have been signing two trade agreements for 30 years, with which it is established that we do not have tariffs with them, nor they with us (…) Reciprocal tariffs would not have to be applied, because there are practically no tariffs from Mexico to the United States.”

“We were able to resist the terrible and painful tragedy of the pandemic, which in addition to much suffering, seriously affected the economy and we came out ahead because we have an extraordinary people.”

“I am convinced that the relationship between Mexico and the United States must be good, respectful and that dialogue will always prevail.”

“We do not want any young person to have as a life expectation to get close to a criminal group. That is only an expectation of death.”

“And let us not forget what is our essence, peace and security are the fruit of justice.”

“The economies of Mexico and the United States we are very integrated and any change will produce misalignments in both countries.”

“The most humane way to address this phenomenon (migration) is to promote development to prevent people from migrating out of necessity.”

“We are at the best moment to turn our region into the most important in the world and thus compete with other regions.”

“We must continue under the following strategy: strengthening the domestic market, expanding self-sufficiency in food and energy, promoting public investment, promoting national production, and strengthening the basis of our project, the Welfare Programs.”

Sheinbaum highlights that “dialogue prevailed” with the U.S. to pause tariffs

During the rally to celebrate the agreement with her counterpart Donald Trump, Sheinbaum declared herself “optimistic” about the future of the bilateral trade relationship, but also warned, “We cannot give up on our sovereignty.”

“We met to congratulate ourselves because in the relationship with the United States, with its government, dialogue and respect prevailed, and the tariffs or tariffs that were being applied to products that we export were lifted,” the mayor highlighted with a crowded Zócalo, the country’s main public square located in the capital.

Sheinbaum originally organized this event to announce the “tariff and non-tariff measures” with which Mexico would respond if the 25% tariffs on exports from her country to the United States were maintained.
