MEXICO CITY, June 19 (Xinhua) — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Wednesday that she spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump and proposed a broad agreement covering security, immigration and trade.
At a daily press conference at the National Palace, K. Sheinbaum said the conversation took place on Tuesday, after D. Trump interrupted his participation in the G7 summit in Canada due to the crisis in the Middle East.
Given the size of the Mexican community in the United States, she stressed the need to create a formal and comprehensive framework for bilateral cooperation.
“I proposed a general agreement that would cover security, immigration and trade,” she said. “I also emphasized the importance of recognizing Mexicans in the United States, families who have lived there for years and contributed to the country’s economy.”
K. Sheinbaum pointed to progress on border security and immigration, citing a “much more secure” border and a “significant reduction” in the number of migrants crossing the border.
She added that Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard would visit the United States on Friday to discuss outstanding trade issues, while security and immigration issues would be handled through the US State Department.
Calling the phone call with Trump — the seventh since the start of his second presidential term — “good,” K. Sheinbaum said Trump apologized for canceling their meeting at the G7 summit and invited her to Washington for talks. –0–
