Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has publicly opposed the criminalization of migrants following the reopening of the Alligator Alcatraz detention center in Florida, a facility promoted by U.S. President Donald Trump. Sheinbaum emphasized the importance of Latin American and Mexican migrants to the U.S. economy and reiterated Mexico's commitment to defending migrants' human rights. Concurrently, Sheinbaum has engaged with Mexican business leaders to discuss the Plan México, encouraging continued investment despite the economic impact of U.S. tariffs. A high-level Mexican delegation is scheduled to meet with U.S. officials in Washington to negotiate a comprehensive agreement addressing security, migration, trade, and the effects of tariffs, including a 30% tariff on Mexican goods announced by Trump. Sheinbaum expressed optimism about avoiding these tariffs but warned that Mexico would consider alternative measures if no agreement is reached. Additionally, she highlighted cooperation on drug trafficking efforts, calling for reciprocal action from the U.S. government. Efforts are also underway to mitigate specific tariffs, such as the 17% tariff on Mexican tomato exports.
