Claudia Sheinbaum on Joe Biden

Claudia Sheinbaum has expressed a desire for a strong, collaborative partnership with Joe Biden, emphasizing shared goals for North American prosperity and security. Following her inauguration, the two leaders reaffirmed the deep ties between the United States and Mexico, agreeing to continue working together on key bilateral issues. This commitment was evidenced by their first in-person meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit in November 2024, where they discussed cooperation on migration, security, transnational criminal violence, and economic matters.

Sheinbaum views the relationship as one built on cooperation and respect for national sovereignty, a framework she intends to maintain throughout her term. During a phone call following her election, the President congratulated her and reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to the partnership. Furthermore, when addressing concerns about a potential tariff war under a different U.S. administration, Sheinbaum conveyed confidence in maintaining cooperative relations with the sitting U.S. president.
