President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday that she has “pending” a call with the new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, to strengthen relations with that country, amid commercial tensions in North America by the tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump.
“Indeed, we have a call pending with the Prime Minister of Canada. The agendas have not been adjusted,” said the president during her morning press conference.
Questioned about whether the weekend, during the presentation of credential letters of the new Canada ambassador to Mexico, Cameron Mackay, he transmitted alleged concerns of Canadian investors about the reform of the Judiciary, which includes the election by popular vote of the magistrates, the ruler rejected the suspicion.
“There is no longer concern. He did not say any concern of the sector. No, who will question the reform of the Judiciary?”
He also said that with Mackay “we talk very well about how to strengthen relations with Canada.”
A few days ago, Sheinbaum congratulated Carney for his triumph in the Canadian elections and promised to work to “strengthen ties” amid commercial tensions in North America.
The president expressed his will to dialogue with Carney, who replaced Justin Trudeau (2015-2025) and maintaining the T-MEC, in force since 2020.

Carney installs celebration of early elections in Canada
The Canadian Prime Minister asked the governor general of the country on Sunday and who exercises the functions of head of state, Mary Simon, the dissolution of Parliament and the celebration of early elections on April 28.
Carney, who became Prime Minister on March 14 after the resignation of Trudeau, decided to anticipate six months the elections at a time when the last surveys point out that the ruler Liberal Party (PL) can win for the fourth consecutive time since 2015 and reach the majority of the lower house of the Parliament.
The new prime minister reaches the position after friction between the government of Trudeau and that of Sheinbaum for commercial tensions in North America unleashed by Trump’s arrival at the White House, who has threatened both countries with imposing generalized tariffs of 25%, which would come into force on April 2.
The new head of the Canadian Executive comes to power with the reputation of its economic management at the head of the Bank of Canada (2008-2013) and the Bank of England (2013-2020).
