The spark of resistance is officially gone — as at least one foreign leader already appears to be folding after just one phone call with President-elect Donald Trump.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is signaling that significant policy changes are on the table just days after a post-Election Day congratulatory call to the U.S. president-elect.
Trump reportedly shattered the “cordial” call by bringing up the most pressing issue on U.S.-Mexico relations: the lengthy border between our two countries and the unacceptable state of it.
According to Fox News Digital, Sheinbaum is considering the adjustments in direct response to the incoming Trump administration.
Tariffs floated by Trump would target Mexican exports. The automotive industry alone, an important sector in the country, could be among the most bloodied.
In rushing to meet the results of Trump’s policies, it’s expected that Mexico may increase immigration enforcement (many “migrants” enter Mexico through that country’s own southern border) and submit to working with U.S. authorities.
For Sheinbaum and Mexico in general, the expectations over the next four years are clear: Behave and help Trump’s America restore order, or else.
