A scheduled call between Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo and former U.S. President Donald Trump this Thursday is prompting adjustments to the President’s daily schedule, including a delayed “Morning of the People” address. The call underscores ongoing communication between the two leaders, despite Trump no longer being in office.
Presidential Agenda Reshaped by US Engagement
President Sheinbaum Pardo announced via social media that her regular morning press conference will take place at 9:00 a.m. this Thursday, a departure from its usual 7:30 a.m. start time. This alteration, according to sources, is directly linked to the anticipated conversation with Trump. A senior official stated that recent adjustments to the presidential agenda have been necessary to accommodate these telephone discussions.
Diplomatic Visit to National Palace
Today, President Sheinbaum Pardo also confirmed an official visit from members of the United States diplomatic corps to the National Palace. Juan Ramon de la Fuente, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, was present during the meeting, though the President refrained from detailing the specific purpose of the visit, stating that further information would be released at a later date.
Prior Communication and Automotive Sector Discussions
This Thursday’s call builds upon previous engagement with the former President. Last Monday, January 12, 2026, President Sheinbaum Pardo postponed the “Morning of the People” briefing after instructing the chancellor to establish direct communication with U.S. authorities and, if required, arrange a phone call with Trump.
In related news, President Sheinbaum Pardo recently met with leaders from the automotive sector, highlighting a move “towards a comprehensive plan” for the industry.
The ongoing dialogue with the U.S., coupled with domestic economic planning, signals a proactive approach to international relations and economic development under the Sheinbaum Pardo administration.
