Mexico wraps itself in the national flag to unite against Trump
Business leaders, citizens and even the opposition close ranks with Claudia Sheinbaum’s efforts to ward off the threats of tariffs from the US president
The most tense days in Mexican politics since Claudia Sheinbaum came to power have also become the most profitable for the president. The latest published polls show popular support at over 80%, and that was before people knew about the call Sheinbaum held with Donald Trump on Monday that led to a month-long suspension of the feared tariffs on Mexican exports. Mexico is closing ranks with its president against external threats from the United States that could seriously affect the economy, while laughing with her at the imposition of tariffs on Mexican products by Ecuador, a move that Sheinbaum dismissed with humor.
