US and Mexican legislators unite against growing threats of military action from Donald Trump
The bilateral relationship between Mexico and the United States is going through a turbulent period. Respect for sovereignty and independence, which Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has so strongly defended, is now in jeopardy with the return of Donald Trump to the White House. In less than 10 days of the Republican president’s second term, the first deportations have already begun and diplomatic tensions are palpable, government programs have been frozen, and 1,500 U.S. soldiers have been deployed on the border with Mexico. Faced with these events, members of the U.S. Congress and Mexican legislators have signed a joint declaration in which they express their rejection of the growing threats of military action.
