Claudia Sheinbaum and Donald Trump hold phone call amid USMCA talks FAST-MOVING
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and US President Donald Trump held a telephone conversation amid ongoing trade negotiations regarding the USMCA. Reports on the call's tone vary; while a US official described the exchange as 'constructive,' another source familiar with the matter characterized it as 'so-so' and noted it generated 'noise' due to new topics raised. The dialogue occurs as both nations navigate trade tariffs and security concerns, including drug trafficking and illegal arms flow.
Simultaneously, Mexico celebrated the 216th anniversary of its Independence with widespread civic and military parades across the country. President Sheinbaum led ceremonies at the National Palace, emphasizing national sovereignty. The Mexican Armed Forces showcased their capabilities during these commemorations, including the presentation of a new 'defense in depth' naval strategy by the Secretary of the Navy, which utilizes long-range drones and advanced surveillance technology to protect national interests.
