Security in Mexico as the central focus of the bilateral relationship with the U.S.
The relationship between Mexico and the United States is undergoing a period of redefinition. With Donald Trump’s return to the White House in January 2025, the bilateral and trade agenda has become subordinate to security, particularly the fight against drug trafficking, the fentanyl crisis, and immigration control.
In this new scenario, trade decisions, from the imposition of tariffs to the review of the USMCA, are closely linked to Mexico’s security performance.
