In open opposition to it is who, following the declaration of an emergency at the border, leaves open the possibility of sending troops there. Donald Trump in a relative question about whether he would send US special forces to Mexico to fight against cartels which he characterizes “foreign terrorist organizations”, did not rule out the possibility. CORVERSE “It could happen,” he told the Oval Office after his inauguration he mentioned features to note with meaning that “stranger things have happened”. Earlier Mexico President Claudia Shainbaum had stressed that she would defend her country’s sovereignty and independence. In her first remarks following Donald Trump’s inauguration, Claudia Shainbaum noted that some of his initial announcements are much like measures he had taken in his previous term, while also seeking to reassure citizens that the government in Mexico will strongly defend their interests. CORVERSE “As regards the decrees that President Donald Trump signed yesterday, I would like to say: The people of Mexico can be sure that we will always defend our sovereignty and independence,” said Shainbaum with two important ministers on her side. “It is always important to be calm,” he added. In response to Trump’s initial moves to stop irregular immigration, Shanebaum said her government would act in a “humanistic” manner, although she also promised to send foreign immigrants to their countries. Trump is expected to sign more executive decrees during his current, second day in the presidency, following the measures adopted yesterday, Monday, to classify Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations, in addition to suggesting that tariffs on Mexican and Canadian exports to the United States may enter into force from February. At the regular morning press conference, Shanebaum noted that although Trump signed an executive decree declaring irregular immigration to the US border- Mexico as an emergency, she will insist on respecting her country’s people. She also reiterated that her government will seek security coordination and other issues with the northern neighbour, and that it has committed itself to reviewing trade terms in 2026. The peso briefly reduced its losses during Shainbaum’s message, although it later returned to the original levels, recording the worst performance in a basket of global reference currencies.
