In a massive show of support, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum spoke to a huge crowd in Mexico City’s Zócalo square on Sunday. It's after the U.S. postponed its plan to impose 25% tariffs on Mexican goods.
Thousands gathered in Mexico City on Sunday to celebrate after U.S. President Donald Trump delayed the planned 25% tariff hikes on Mexican goods. Trump attributed the delay to progress made by Mexico in addressing drug smuggling and illegal immigration. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed the crowd, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and asserting that Mexico’s sovereignty must come first. “We’re not extremists, but we are clear that there are some inalienable principles—we can’t give up our sovereignty, our people cannot be affected by decisions made by foreign governments or hegemonies. In this case, we’ll act immediately,” Sheinbaum stated.
The tariff delay will last until April 2, following a phone conversation between the two leaders.
Sheinbaum, who had planned to announce retaliatory measures against the U.S. had the tariffs been imposed, instead used the opportunity to rally supporters with a message of unity.
Supporters expressed confidence in Sheinbaum’s leadership. Magaly Hernandez, a teacher, praised Sheinbaum for her strong conviction in pushing forward agreements through dialogue, despite Trump's attempts to intimidate her. "She has always said our nation is ready for any dialogue. For this reason, we’re here today," Hernandez said. Salvador Castaneda, a supporter, added, “Mexico is not weak, Mexico is strong. And Claudia has proved it. For this reason, we came here, to back her today and always.”
The rally served as a key moment for Sheinbaum’s leadership amid international tensions, reflecting strong support from her citizens as they rallied behind her in the face of external challenges.
