Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said it is very likely U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will visit in the first week of September, with the date to be confirmed this week.
  • The purpose of the trip would be to sign a bilateral security agreement that both governments have worked on in recent weeks.
  • Sheinbaum outlined four guiding pillars for the pact: respect for sovereignty, respect for territory, mutual trust, and collaboration.
  • A Mexican team led by Omar García Harfuch, Juan Ramón de la Fuente, and Marcelo Ebrard has advanced the discussions with U.S. counterparts.
  • The prospective visit comes as both countries navigate tariff pressures along with fentanyl and migration concerns, and it would be Rubio’s first official visit to Mexico as secretary of state; separately, Brazil is sending senior ministers and 150 business leaders to Mexico for talks from August 26 to 28.
