Claudia Sheinbaum administration policy and diplomacy

Overview

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has focused on domestic policy achievements and navigating international economic dynamics. In her second State of the Union address, Sheinbaum highlighted a 51% decrease in homicides and a 154% increase in the minimum wage since 2018. Her administration is prioritizing social programs, such as the ‘Salud Casa por Casa’ health initiative and new pensions for women, alongside infrastructure development and a constitutional reform to bar dual citizens from certain high offices.

On the international stage, Sheinbaum has addressed the economic competition between the United States and China, describing recent dialogues between their leaders as “very interesting.” She expressed support for “healthy” competition that avoids global instability. Regarding bilateral trade, Sheinbaum emphasized Mexico’s goal of strengthening economic integration with the United States, specifically aiming to negotiate the reduction or avoidance of tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automotive products while maintaining Mexican sovereignty. To address the upcoming USMCA (T-MEC) review, the Mexican government is pursuing a strategy to increase imports from the United States to help reduce the U.S. trade deficit.

Expanding her diplomatic efforts, Sheinbaum has expressed interest in holding a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the APEC summit in November. This would mark her first official trip to China. She is currently evaluating travel logistics for the summit in Shenzhen, scheduled for November 18 and 19, including the possibility of traveling on a commercial flight to ensure her return for the Mexican Revolution anniversary parade on November 20. Her participation is considered essential as Mexico prepares to host the APEC forum in 2028.

Domestically, Sheinbaum expressed confidence in Mexico’s economic growth through 2026 and 2027. She noted that public and mixed investment tenders for infrastructure projects—including trains, highways, and hydraulic works—alongside national housing policies, are expected to drive long-term stability.
