Donald Trump. President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that in her conversation with Donald Trump, he began by congratulating her on her presidential win, a gesture she returned. She added that they discussed the US-Mexico border, with illegal immigration as a primary topic. Sheinbaum also announced that Trump invited her to his presidential inauguration and extended his regards to López Obrador, emphasizing their strong relationship.
Donald Trump has been elected the 47th President of the United States, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris. He becomes the first president since Grover Cleveland to serve non-consecutive terms and the first convicted felon in office. Trump secured 295 electoral votes and 50.9% of the popular vote. The Republican Party also regained control of the Senate with 52 seats. In the House of Representatives, Republicans currently hold 205 seats, while Democrats have 190, with final control still to be determined.
G20. Claudia Sheinbaum announced she will attend the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, beginning on Nov. 18, though she plans to stay only that day in order to lead the Mexican Revolution anniversary celebrations on Nov. 20. At the G20, Sheinbaum will participate in two plenary sessions: "Fighting Hunger and Poverty" and "Reforming Global Governance Institutions." Additionally, several countries have requested bilateral meetings with her, including Canada, China, South Korea, France, India, Indonesia, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
During his administration, López Obrador never attended a G20 summit. The G20 comprises Germany, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, South Korea, the United States, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, along with the European Union and the African Union.
Private Companies. President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that there will be no financial rescue for private companies in Mexico, in response to the crises faced by Televisa and TV Azteca. "Public funds will never be used to bail out a private company or to secure commercial agreements with any media outlet. We are not the rulers of the past."
Both Televisa and TV Azteca are facing significant challenges that are impacting their financial stability and long-term viability. These include a decline in audience, with viewers increasingly disengaging from their content in recent years. Additionally, Televisa is confronting a corruption allegation, while TV Azteca’s failed to fulfill tax obligations, which has negatively affected Elektra’s ratings with international agencies.
