Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday congratulated former U.S. President Donald Trump on his victory in the presidential election, asking him for dialogue and respect for sovereignty.
In a post on X, Sheinbaum, who took office just last month, wrote she was sure both would "advance in the broad bilateral agenda" that connects the neighboring countries.
"There will be good relations with the United States," she had said earlier in the day, seeking to calm worries ahead of Trump's return to power. "I'm convinced of that."
The Mexican peso took a significant hit in overnight trading, dropping to the lowest level in more than two years. As markets digested Trump's win during the day, it trimmed losses, trading at 20.08 pesos per dollar at 5 p.m. ET.
