STORYLINE:
Tens of thousands of people packed into Mexico’s City main plaza on Sunday to show support for President Claudia Sheinbaum as the U.S. decided to postpone tariffs on many of the country’s goods.
The crowd clutched large Mexican flags and chanted “Mexico is to be respected” as they cheered on Sheinbaum.
“Fortunately, dialogue and respect have prevailed,” she told the crowd.
The celebration comes just days after U.S. President Donald Trump postponed 25% tariffs on many imports from Mexico for a month, saying Sheinbaum had made progress on drug smuggling and illegal immigration.
Sheinbaum had planned to announce any retaliatory measures on Sunday, but instead held a mass celebration.
Sheinbaum said she was optimistic tariffs would not be applied to Mexico and that she would continue to act with a “cool head” in the face of Trump.
Approval ratings for the 62-year-old president are not favorable with most analysts agreeing that if general tariffs are imposed, Mexico could face a contraction of more than 1% of its GDP.
After phone conversations with his counterparts in Mexico and Canada, Trump decided last Thursday to pause until April 2 the general tariffs for products that are under a trilateral trade agreement.
In early February, Trump also suspended tariffs after Sheinbaum promised to send 10,000 national guards to the northern border to contain drug trafficking.
