Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed a large rally in Mexico City's Zocalo square, emphasizing the importance of dialogue, respect, and national sovereignty. She highlighted Mexico's economic contributions to the U.S. and emphasized the need to act promptly to protect sovereignty. She acknowledged the complex history between the two countries, recognizing both periods of conflict and cooperation.

Initially, U.S. President Trump imposed tariffs on Mexican goods due to concerns about drug trafficking. Sheinbaum responded calmly, postponing any retaliatory measures to announce at the rally. Following a phone call with Trump, he decided to delay tariffs on USMCA goods until April 2 as a gesture of respect towards Sheinbaum.

Sheinbaum expressed appreciation for the rally's success and emphasized ongoing dialogue with the U.S. She concluded by suggesting the possibility of future gatherings if needed, receiving enthusiastic support from the crowd.
