In Mexico City, the leaders of Mexico and Brazil expressed their intent to enhance trade cooperation between their countries, the two largest economies in Latin America. This initiative aims to provide a counterbalance to the unpredictable trade policies of U.S. President Donald Trump, which have caused market instability.

During a meeting on the sidelines of a regional summit in Honduras, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva discussed strategies to address Trump's tariffs and increasing deportations. Lula emphasized the importance of strengthening ties through regular meetings between their governments and business sectors.

At the summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, attended by 11 heads of state and 20 representatives, there was a call for unity and solidarity in response to global tensions. Despite Trump's temporary suspension of tariffs for most countries, trade partners remain uneasy and are seeking alternative trade options amid uncertainties surrounding the Trump administration's policies.

The discontent extends beyond trade issues, with concerns raised over Trump's deportation practices and actions that some see as encroaching on other countries' sovereignty. This includes discussions on security threats related to Chinese presence in the Panama Canal and reports of potential drone strikes against Mexican cartels, a suggestion firmly rejected by President Sheinbaum as any form of intervention or interference is not acceptable.
