The Mexican president said there was "no reason for concern" over Trump's victory, who threatened to impose 25% tariffs on Mexico if it did not stop the entry of "criminals and drugs" into the United States.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she had a "very cordial" phone call Thursday with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who toughened his rhetoric against his southern neighbor ahead of his election victory.

"We had a very cordial call with President-elect Donald Trump in which we talked about the good relationship that there will be between Mexico and the United States," the president said on social media X.

Mexico is the United States' largest trading partner, having overtaken China in 2023.

Sheinbaum, who had already congratulated Trump on Wednesday, believes that there is "no reason for concern" about the victory of the Republican, who threatened during his campaign to impose 25% tariffs on Mexico if it does not stop the "onslaught of criminals and drugs" entering the United States.

In her usual press conference on Thursday, before the telephone conversation, the president had indicated that "there is dialogue with the United States and with President Trump," so if any inconvenience were to arise, the Mexican government would be able to resolve it.

"We are prepared, Mexico is solid in the face of these issues," said Sheinbaum regarding the possibility that Trump's warnings could materialize.

During the campaign, Trump made the flow of migrants and drug trafficking from Mexico central themes in his speech. One day before the elections, the tycoon announced that he would quickly notify Sheinbaum of his demands on security and migration.
