Sheinbaum Plans Security Talks With US Ambassador Johnson
What happened
Sheinbaum stated that her initial meeting with Johnson on Thursday was focused on trade and investment, not security. A separate meeting with Johnson and Foreign Secretary Roberto Velasco will be held to discuss security and other specific issues. According to Sheinbaum, the number of people crossing the border irregularly has fallen 98% and fentanyl seizures in the US have decreased by 75% due to joint efforts.
Why it matters
The planned meeting may impact US tariff relief on Mexican goods, as security cooperation is linked to trade in Washington's approach. A calm security dialogue may make tariff relief easier to achieve.
