‘Mexico has a plan’: Sheinbaum addresses uncertainty a week before Trump returns to the White House
The president says she has not been invited to the inauguration and sources consider it unlikely that she will travel to Washington, while doubts prevail over Mexico’s strategy to contain the Republican’s attacks
After a wait of more than two months, the moment of truth is approaching. Donald Trump will be sworn in as U.S. president on January 20, and the Mexican government is in the decisive stages of defining its strategy for what comes next. “I am convinced that the relationship between Mexico and the United States will be good and respectful, and that dialogue will prevail,” said Claudia Sheinbaum when delivering the report for her first 100 days in power, in an event marked by the concerns raised by the return of the Republican magnate to the White House. The president left her participation in Trump’s inauguration up in the air having stated last week that she had not received a personal invitation from the transition team. Barring a last-minute change, it is most likely that the Mexican representation will be delegated to its diplomatic corps in Washington, given that the participation of heads of state or government in this type of ceremony is not customary, according to sources consulted by EL PAÍS.
