Mexico's Sheinbaum Holds Phone Talks with Trump after G7 Meeting Postponed

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and U.S. President Donald Trump had a 'very good' phone call after Trump left the G7 summit in Canada earlier than planned due to escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. Their scheduled in-person meeting at the summit was postponed, but both leaders agreed to work together on various issues, including trade, security, and migration. Despite Trump's early departure, Sheinbaum remained at the summit, engaging with other world leaders such as those from Canada, Germany, India, and the European Union, emphasizing Mexico's commitment to multilateral diplomacy. The phone call signaled continued open communication between Mexico and the United States, even though immediate bilateral talks could not occur. The early exit of Trump interrupted planned talks not only with Sheinbaum but also with other key leaders like Ukraine's President Zelenskyy. Mexico's government highlighted ongoing daily dialogue possibilities and the importance of addressing Mexico's concerns, such as U.S. tariffs on Mexican steel, aluminum, and cars, in future discussions.
