Two days ago, Mexico’s Foreign Minister, Juan Ramón de la Fuente, welcomed U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem at Felipe Ángeles International Airport.
Noem’s visit to Mexico was part of a broader Latin American tour, including a scheduled meeting with President Claudia Sheinbaum at the National Palace. Mexico’s Foreign Minister and members of the Security Cabinet also attended.
The visit was part of ongoing high-level dialogue between Mexico and the U.S., focusing on strengthening bilateral relations and enhancing cooperation on security and migration. Officials emphasized that discussions were guided by principles of mutual trust, shared responsibility, and respect for national sovereignty.
During an event in Baja California, President Sheinbaum reaffirmed Mexico’s commitment to a respectful and cooperative relationship with the United States. She outlined five key principles of Mexico’s foreign policy: shared responsibility, mutual trust, respect for sovereignty, cooperation without subordination, and respect for Mexico and its citizens.
Addressing her meeting with Noem, Sheinbaum reiterated her administration’s commitment to fostering a relationship based on friendship and coordination. She also expressed concerns over potential tariffs on Mexican exports to the U.S., highlighting the deep economic ties between the two countries.
“Mexico and the United States are highly interconnected. Here in Baja California, many factories produce goods for the U.S. market. We will always negotiate with dignity because Mexico deserves respect,” Sheinbaum stated.
She also sent a message of support to Mexicans living and working in the United States, calling them “heroes” for their contributions to their families and communities in Mexico.
