Trump, Sheinbaum Discuss Trade Deal
United States President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum recently held a phone conversation focusing on key trade matters, including tariffs on steel and aluminum as well as issues in the automotive industry. The dialogue, which both leaders characterized as constructive, did not result in a finalized agreement.
During a press conference on Monday, President Sheinbaum stated that although the exchange was productive, the discussions have not yet led to a conclusive deal. She emphasized that both governments remain committed to continued dialogue and negotiations until an agreement can be reached.
President Trump had earlier described the call as “productive,” underlining the importance of the trade relationship between the two neighboring countries. The conversation represents a continuation of efforts to resolve trade disputes and strengthen economic cooperation.
The key topics addressed in the discussion—particularly tariffs on steel and aluminum, and challenges within the auto sector—are longstanding points of concern in U.S.-Mexico trade relations. While no specific outcomes have been announced, the reaffirmation of ongoing negotiations signals a shared intention to reach a resolution that benefits both sides.
As talks progress, attention remains focused on whether upcoming meetings or communications between the two administrations will result in a formal trade accord.
