*March 28, 2025*
President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo met with Kristen Noem, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, at the National Palace on March 28, 2025. The two leaders discussed the ongoing collaboration between their nations, highlighting both the progress and the challenges that remain in addressing border security issues.
President Sheinbaum mentioned on her social media account that the meeting was productive and underscored a strong bilateral relationship built on mutual respect. She emphasized that the deployment of the National Guard troops at the U.S.-Mexico border and the acceptance of deportation flights by Mexico represent significant steps forward, yet challenges persist in controlling the flow of drugs and undocumented immigrants into the United States.
Meanwhile, Secretary Noem expressed optimism about the potential of their cooperation, stating, “Our alliance will help restore safety to the United States and the Central American region.”
During a press conference earlier in the day, President Sheinbaum indicated that this meeting would not focus on the imposition of tariffs but rather continue the conversations on border security coordination. The goal is to share progress with Secretary Noem, and to reinforce the strategic collaboration between both nations.
Secretary Noem is on an international tour, deciding to culminate it with discussions in Mexico. The meeting, also attended by Mexico’s Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of Security, and Secretary of Foreign Affairs, will address security strategies and migration issues within the frame of national sovereignty.
This meeting is part of ongoing efforts following a series of joint security agreements made in Washington D.C. last month. Both countries are committed to maintaining open lines of communication and strategic coordination to tackle shared challenges effectively.
