Mexican President Sheinbaum Celebrates Temporary Suspension of U.S. Tariffs

Claudia Sheinbaum addresses 350,000 supporters in Mexico City, expressing optimism about trade relations with the U.S. despite ongoing tensions.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum held a large rally in Mexico City to mark the U.S.'s temporary suspension of a 25% tariff on Mexican imports until April 2, following a phone call with Donald Trump.
Sheinbaum emphasized the importance of Mexico's sovereignty and trade agreements, asserting that the country should not be subject to unilateral foreign decisions.
The rally drew an estimated 350,000 attendees, with widespread public support for Sheinbaum's stance, as recent polls show her approval rating at over 80%.
Tensions remain as Trump accuses Mexico of insufficient efforts to combat fentanyl trafficking, while Sheinbaum calls for stricter U.S. controls on arms smuggling into Mexico.
Sheinbaum highlighted Mexico's economic resilience, citing major foreign investments, including a $3.4 billion commitment from Mercado Libre and $2 billion from Santander.
