Will the Sheinbaum administration need to strengthen the security strategy on the southern border?

The president of the Mexican Senate, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, said “Donald Trump is a difficult guy, but he does not eat fire, he knows very well the importance of the relationship with our country, he knows very well the importance of the Mexican community in the United States, and that he had very important support from Mexicans during the election.” He also mentioned that “Claudia Sheinbaum has the ability, the tenacity, the character, the preparation and the popular support to get it right with him.”

Congressman Raúl Torres, who is the Representative of the House for Mexicans Abroad, spoke to the press “Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration will have to reinforce the security strategy on the southern border by deploying the National Guard and strengthening the presence of the National Migration Institute.

Likewise, she must change the narrative and a new way of negotiating with the United States given the upcoming negotiation of the USMCA trade agreement. She must put an economic agenda at the center to empower Mexicans in the United States, whose weight increases every day as many of them open businesses, create jobs and voted for Donald Trump.”

Experts say it is still early and uncertain to what extent the Sheinbaum administration will be open to changing certain positions and policies to benefit relations with the United States. Mainly for security, as her predecessor preferred to protect criminal groups rather than fight them.

Sheinbaum promised continuity in everything, and security policy could be the point of greatest tension with the incoming Trump administration.
