Claudia Sheinbaum praised for strong migration and drug policies
Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's first female president, has gained praise from U.S. President Donald Trump for her strong actions on migration and drug trafficking. Her recent extradition of 29 cartel leaders and direct communication in English have impressed Trump. Initially doubted in her ability to manage U.S.-Mexico relations, Sheinbaum's strategic approach has delayed planned tariffs on Mexican goods. She has provided detailed reports on migration control, appealing to Trump's decision-making style. Despite avoiding immediate tariffs, Mexico faces economic uncertainty and ongoing cartel violence. Sheinbaum's leadership is reshaping U.S.-Mexico relations, balancing cooperation with national sovereignty while maintaining strong domestic support.
