How Mexico’s president became the world’s leading Trump whisperer
Claudia Sheinbaum has twice persuaded Trump to postpone tariffs. The low-key scientist’s success is helping her step out of her predecessor’s shadow.
MEXICO CITY — Tens of thousands of Mexicans poured into the country’s most important plaza on Sunday to cheer President Claudia Sheinbaum after she succeeded in one of the most daunting challenges in global politics: negotiating with Donald Trump.
The U.S. president on Thursday backed down on his plans to impose 25 percent tariffs on all Mexican and Canadian products “out of respect for President Sheinbaum,” he said. It was the second time in two months that the Mexican leader won a delay of the penalties.
