Sheinbaum vows to ‘defend Mexicans at every level’ amid anger at Trump over migrant deaths

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has vowed to "defend Mexicans at every level" amidst growing anger at President Trump over migrant deaths. This declaration comes as the Mexican government voices concern about its citizens dying in US custody and Sheinbaum pushes back against the Trump administration’s energy blockade on Cuba. Sheinbaum, a progressive leader, is now taking a firmer stance with the United States, defying pressures where other nations have conceded. For over a year, she had carefully navigated relations with President Trump, responding to provocations with a measured tone and cooperating on cartel crackdowns to avoid tariffs and military action. Her recent actions signal a shift in Mexico's approach to US relations.
