Sheinbaum warns of U.S.-Mexico far-right alliance aiming to harm bilateral ties

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has issued a warning regarding the continued collaboration between far-right sectors in the United States and right-wing groups in Mexico. She asserts that these alliances aim to deteriorate the relationship between the two countries and politically undermine her administration, particularly as the 2027 elections approach.

“

These fake news or these attempts to prevent a good relationship by the far-right in the United States, which joins with our right in Mexico, I think this will continue and we must be very attentive.

Sheinbaum believes that recent reports and accusations against Mexican authorities are part of a concerted effort by these groups to construct an adverse narrative about Mexico. "These fake news or these attempts to prevent a good relationship by the far-right in the United States, which joins with our right in Mexico, I think this will continue and we must be very attentive," she declared.

The President indicated that these sectors intend to influence both the upcoming U.S. elections in November and Mexico's domestic political landscape. She specifically questioned U.S. media coverage concerning drug trafficking and fentanyl, suggesting it serves as a strategy to discredit Mexico and the governments of the so-called Fourth Transformation. She also pointed to a recent meeting organized by the American Society, attended by the U.S. ambassador and opposition party representatives, as an example of sectors seeking to harm bilateral ties.

They want to use it for their election in November of this year and they also want to affect the government of Mexico with a view to the election of 2027.

Despite these concerns, Sheinbaum affirmed that the relationship between the two governments remains strong, highlighting recent meetings focused on security and maritime cooperation. She reiterated her administration's commitment to defending national sovereignty, non-intervention, and respectful collaboration. "In Mexico, Mexicans decide. We have a good relationship of coordination, collaboration, and work," she stated, expressing confidence that attempts to create conflict will fail due to her government's popular support.
