MEXICO: US decisions take government by surprise
Mexico’s government led by President Claudia Sheinbaum insists it enjoys fluid and constant communication with the US administration of President Donald Trump. However, this week the government was caught off-guard by several major US government decisions. These pertained to the family of imprisoned Mexican cartel leader Ovidio Guzmán López, measures to combat the New World Screwworm (NWS), and the US visa of Baja California state governor, Marina del Pilar Ávila. The government’s lack of prior knowledge about these decisions indicate that relations are not quite as straightforward as Sheinbaum and other officials like to make out.
