MEXICO: Sheinbaum courts global leaders at G7 summit
One of the focal points of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s trip to the G7 summit in Canada this week was her first in-person meeting with US President Donald Trump. The meeting was to come at a critical juncture, amid tensions over migration, US plans to tax remittances, and tariffs on key Mexican sectors. However, Trump left the summit before the meeting took place, returning to the US to focus on the Israel-Iran conflict. Undeterred, Sheinbaum met with several G7 leaders and other heads of state, signalling the renewed importance of foreign policy under her government and a departure from the approach of her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024), who frequently declined to attend multilateral gatherings such as the G7.
