Mexico Faces Challenges as Trump Returns to Presidency

President Claudia Sheinbaum confronts potential tensions with Donald Trump over immigration, trade, and security policies.

Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's new president, may face a difficult relationship with Donald Trump, who has a history of aggressive policies towards Mexico.
Trump's return brings renewed threats of tariffs, border closures, and mass deportations, which could severely impact Mexico's economy and remittances.
The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is up for review, with potential renegotiations as Trump may leverage recent Mexican legal changes.
Sheinbaum is expected to adopt a more nationalistic approach compared to her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who maintained a transactional relationship with Trump.
There are concerns over U.S.-Mexico cooperation on drug enforcement, as Sheinbaum appears to be shifting away from López Obrador's non-confrontational strategy.
