President Claudia Sheimbaum told Mexican diplomats this Wednesday that, despite Donald Trump’s threats of mass deportations of migrants, her government will reach agreements and understandings, said the ambassador to Norway, Omar Fayad.
Sheinbaum met privately at the National Palace with representatives of Mexico abroad in what was the Meeting of Ambassadors and Consuls 2025.
“(The president) has the idea that there will be an understanding (with the Government of Donald Trump) and an agreement will be reached on an equal footing, defending the dignity and sovereignty (of Mexico),” declared Fayad upon leaving the meeting.
Meanwhile, Sheinbaum reported the meeting in a message on social networks.
“We led the meeting of heads of Embassies and Consulates 2025 in the National Palace, in the company of Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente; our migrant brothers and sisters have all the support. We talk about the moral authority that Mexico has today before the world,” he noted.
Sheinbaum had announced in his daily conference that he would speak with the diplomats “about the historical moment that Mexico is experiencing (…) about the moral authority that Mexico has today and what we represent for our country and for the entire world.”
He noted that, particularly for the consuls, “the entire strategy is to support our migrant brothers and sisters and that, what we ask for most, which is the essence of our project, is humanism.”
