Sheinbaum spoke about the talks on Friday during her routine press briefing and described the phone call with Donald Trump as positive. She said, "We're advancing toward the possibility of an agreement - Mexico and the United States - and the call went very well," and also said, "We reached some agreements, but we cannot announce them until the final deal is in place."
Sheinbaum said Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco and Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard participated in the phone call with her. She said security, which has appeared in other exchanges between the two presidents, was not on the agenda for Wednesday's conversation.

The phone discussion was the most recent in a string of trade-related discussions aimed at resolving matters such as reducing U.S. tariffs on Mexican shipments, and it came after U.S.-Canada trade talks collapsed late last month. Sheinbaum said she respects Canada's choice to seek engagement with the EU while Ottawa continues talks with Washington on a trade arrangement, and she said she hopes the USMCA continues to hold. Politico first reported the phone call on Thursday, and at a campaign rally on Wednesday Donald Trump said a "great deal" was close at hand. If you follow trade developments, note that negotiators are expected to meet in Washington on September 28.
