How Mexico’s leader is writing the playbook for handling Trump

Live Mint  

MEXICO CITY—When President Trump called her last week, President Claudia Sheinbaum was prepared to speak with a U.S. leader who wouldn’t yield on tariffs. Members of Mexico’s national guard patrol the border wall between Mexico and the U.S. “President Sheinbaum is a woman I like very much," Trump told reporters, before adding that whether he liked her or not, he still had to stop drugs and illegal immigration. Sheinbaum’s surprise deal with Trump showed Canadian officials that there was a path to avoiding the punitive tariffs the U.S. had announced on Feb. 1, said a senior Canadian government official. In a news conference with reporters after the telephone call with Trump, Sheinbaum said she tried to defuse Trump’s longstanding concern about the U.S.’s large trade deficit with Mexico, which currently stands at more than $150 billion.
