Tens of thousands of Mexicans gathered in Mexico City’s Zócalo square to celebrate with President Claudia Sheinbaum following the U.S. decision to postpone new tariffs on Mexican goods. The event, initially planned as a protest, turned into a festive demonstration of national unity, featuring music, flags, and speeches.
President Sheinbaum addressed the crowd, emphasizing the success of diplomatic negotiations and Mexico’s commitment to economic stability. The U.S. had threatened a 25% tariff on Mexican exports over immigration and drug trafficking concerns, but after discussions, the tariffs were delayed for a month.
While the celebration highlighted Sheinbaum’s growing support, economic uncertainties remain. Analysts warn that if Mexico does not meet U.S. expectations, the tariffs could still take effect, posing risks to trade relations. Sheinbaum remains hopeful that continued dialogue will prevent future economic disruptions.
