Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed on Friday that she had a "fruitful meeting" with U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, emphasizing continued cooperation between the two neighboring nations.

In a statement shared on her official X (formerly Twitter) account, President Sheinbaum wrote, “We welcomed U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to the National Palace. We had a fruitful meeting with her, benefiting both Mexico and the United States.”

Sheinbaum added that Mexico and the U.S. "maintain a good relationship within a framework of respect for each other's sovereignty," referencing the importance of diplomatic balance despite rising tensions linked to U.S. President Donald Trump's recent tariff announcements, which have intensified a trade dispute.

Focus on Migration and Security Cooperation

According to an official statement from the Mexican government, the discussions focused on enhancing cooperation in key areas such as migration and security. The two sides reiterated a mutual understanding based on “respect for sovereignty and coordination without subordination.”

This diplomatic engagement comes during a time when bilateral ties are being tested by economic friction, yet both countries continue to prioritize collaborative efforts in maintaining border security and addressing regional challenges.
