Mexico’s president and the art of keeping a ‘cool head’ with Trump

CNN  

CNN — The phrase “El que se enoja, pierde,” is a popular refrain in Mexico. It’s a “measured approach” that has already “paid dividends” for Mexico, according to Duncan Wood, President and CEO of the Los Angeles-based Pacific Council on International Policy, and an expert on US-Mexico relations. The day after Trump’s inauguration, Sheinbaum said it was “important to keep a cool head” when she was asked to react to the American president’s first executive orders. Jim Watson/AFP/Getty Images While campaigning for the presidency, Andrés Manuel López Obrador wrote a highly critical book titled “Listen up, Trump.” But, once in the presidency, López Obrador forged ties with the American president that, beyond a working relationship, were later described as a “bromance.” “She’s got experience, and she’s seen what other leaders have done,” said Wood. “With a US president, a political leader like Trump, the last thing you want to do is to engage in a shouting match of any kind, and particularly in the context of such a vitally important bilateral relationship,” Wood said of Mexico, which became the United States’ top trading partner in 2023.
