Following Sheinbaum's negotiations with Trump, Mexico gains support from businessmen and international leaders.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A \u201cvery friendly\u201d call, as Trump described it. On February 3, 2025, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum held a conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump, reached an understanding with U.S. President Donald Trump to temporarily lift for a month the tariffs of 25 percent that his administration was poised to slap on Mexican imports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The negotiation marked a diplomatic achievement that prevented a negative economic impact for both nations. Reactions from international leaders, business executives, and analysts were swift, praising the Mexican president\u2019s ability to handle the crisis with \u201cstrategy and composure.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first woman to govern Mexico, leveraging her scientific precision, demonstrated firm and calculated leadership in her first major international challenge, positioning Mexico as a key player in global diplomacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the first to react was German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who highlighted the intelligence and calm with which Sheinbaum approached the situation: \u201cI consider the Mexican president to be a very intelligent politician who has acted with composure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lila Abed, director of the Mexico Institute at the Wilson Center in Washington<\/a>, also emphasized Sheinbaum\u2019s strategy in addressing the trade conflict: \u201cShe has been cautious and strategic. Her approach has been well received both in Mexico and abroad.\u201d She added, \u201cShe's been taking actions within her government to send a clear signal to the United States that it understands that fentanyl and organized crime are a top priority for the Trump administration\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Mexico, the Business Coordinating Council<\/a> (CCE), led by Francisco Cervantes, expressed its support for the president, noting that her strategy of \u201cdialogue with firmness\u201d was key to reaching a beneficial agreement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Representing the voice of 13 top business organizations, which together include over 2,000 associations, Cervantes reiterated absolute support for the president in dialogue, negotiation, and cooperation with Mexico\u2019s trade partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

During a meeting at the National Palace, President Claudia Sheinbaum called on the business sector to maintain coordination to strengthen the \u201cMexico Plan\u201d and boost the country\u2019s development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlos Slim Domit, president of Grupo Carso<\/a>, along with other business leaders such as Ra\u00fal Mart\u00ednez Ostos (Barclays Mexico) and Rafael Zaga Saba (Canaintex), agreed that Sheinbaum\u2019s approach was effective and demonstrated strong negotiation skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mexican businessman Claudio X. Gonz\u00e1lez Laporte (Kimberly-Clark<\/a>.) emphasized the importance of unity in times of uncertainty and assured that, although the Trump administration is unpredictable, \u201cMexico will come out on top.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Problems That Seemed Insurmountable, Until a Mexican Woman Took Charge<\/b><\/p>\n

In a country where female leadership has been underestimated for decades, the role of women in decision-making is becoming increasingly decisive. Altagracia G\u00f3mez, Coordinator of the Regional Economic Development Advisory Council, highlighted this reflection. Her words not only acknowledged Sheinbaum\u2019s work but also reflected a reality shared by many women in Mexico: the daily burden of making possible what others consider \u201cimpossible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday\u2019s feat should serve as a reminder that, beyond our professions and occupations, Mexican women have as our vocation the ability to perform miracles and specialize in achieving the so-called impossible.\u201d \u201cDr. Sheinbaum is a leader because, in the face of adversity, she represented us with dignity and decency. She called for unity, convened dialogue, and resolved issues with responsibility and efficiency.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

International media outlets such as El Pa\u00eds also joined in the recognition, dedicating an article to the Mexican president, stating that \u201cSheinbaum has emerged victorious from the first round with Trump, displaying a very different approach compared to Petro or Trudeau.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sheinbaum\u2019s Message: Sovereignty Is Not Negotiable<\/b><\/p>\n

Following the agreement, Sheinbaum called on the business sector to strengthen the \u201cPlan M\u00e9xico\u201d emphasizing the importance of unity and the country\u2019s economic development. She affirmed that, during her conversation with Trump, she maintained that \u201cMexico\u2019s sovereignty is not up for negotiation,\u201d reaffirming her commitment to national interests and ensuring that, even in collaboration, each country\u2019s right to make decisions must align with its political, economic, and social realities.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this agreement, Sheinbaum has successfully navigated a key initial challenge in the relationship with Mexico\u2019s main trading partner without compromising fundamental principles. Now, the country has the opportunity to solidify its role as a leader in solving shared challenges, thanks to a historic strategy rooted in dignity and the interests of Mexicans, positioning Mexico at the center of global attention.<\/span><\/p>\n
