Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo described as “very positive” her recent phone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump, held during her visit to Canada for the 51st G7 Leaders’ Summit. During the call, Sheinbaum proposed a comprehensive bilateral agreement encompassing key areas such as migration, security, trade, and recognition of Mexican families living in the United States.
The president emphasized ongoing progress in bilateral relations, noting a safer border and a preliminary security agreement previously signed in Washington. Building on this foundation, Sheinbaum suggested a new, wide-ranging pact to strengthen coordination and collaboration between the two nations—always in mutual respect for sovereignty.
“We have reached many agreements. Today, we have a much safer border… I proposed that this new agreement also include recognition for Mexican families who have lived and worked in the United States for years,” Sheinbaum stated, adding that her U.S. counterpart agreed with the proposal.
She clarified that this initiative is not a substitute for the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), which remains in force and is scheduled for review in 2026. Instead, the new proposal would serve as a complement to existing frameworks, with a particular focus on migrant welfare and more comprehensive cooperation.
As a follow-up, Sheinbaum announced that Mexico’s Secretary of Economy, Marcelo Ebrard Casaubon, will meet with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick on Friday to discuss economic and trade matters. Meanwhile, security and migration issues will be addressed with the U.S. Department of State.
With this initiative, the Mexican government reaffirms its commitment to a foreign policy based on dialogue, mutual respect, and the protection of Mexican nationals abroad.
