Sheinbaum reaction to Trump midterm election defeat, Digi Mart USA News (Mexico City): Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum declined on Wednesday to confirm whether the results of the U.S. midterm elections would bring a change in the relationship between the government of Donald Trump and Mexico.
Speaking at her morning press conference, she said her administration would maintain, for now, its negotiations with U.S. secretaries and with President Trump.
“The relationship with the federal government will depend on the government of President Trump itself, toward where it goes… It is very early to know if anything will change, given the results of yesterday’s election,” Sheinbaum said, according to the source report.
Sheinbaum also celebrated the victory of Xavier Becerra in California and Gina Hinojosa in Texas, both of whom have Mexican origins. She said the results, which represented a strong defeat for Trump’s Republican Party, reflect the sentiment of the American people.
“I think it shows a sentiment of the American people. And I would like to highlight the victory of two people of Mexican origin, who are the governor-elect of California and the governor-elect of Texas,” she said.
The president noted that both Democrats have parents born in Mexico, so they “have a clear connection to their state.” “We are very pleased that Mexican Americans who are there have this participation and this recognition,” she added.
