As Mexico's presidential election approaches, officials and campaign aides are preparing for the potential re-election of Donald Trump in the United States. Reflecting on their past negotiations with Trump, Mexican officials are bracing for a challenging future, as Trump has promised massive deportations and aggressive trade policies. Despite previous cooperation, the outcome of the election remains uncertain, prompting both leading presidential candidates to strategize for either a Trump or Biden presidency. While acknowledging the need to address migration effectively, officials are also considering Mexico's increased leverage in its relationship with the United States. Despite past challenges, Mexico has achieved certain victories in trade negotiations with the Trump administration, although the handling of migration policies has been a topic of criticism and praise. As the election draws closer, both presidential campaigns are preparing for potential scenarios, emphasizing the importance of being adaptable and strategic in managing the complex relationship between the United States and Mexico.
