President-elect Donald Trump's 'America First' foreign policy, focused on US national interest, is expected to have significant impacts on Mexico. Trump's proposed policies, including mass deportations, increased tariffs, and potential military intervention against drug cartels, threaten Mexico's economy, society, and sovereignty. However, Mexico has options to retaliate by limiting cooperation on drugs and immigration, imposing its own tariffs, and potentially leveraging its relationship with China.

President-elect Donald Trump has made clear his intent to supercharge his “ America First ” approach to foreign policy in his second term — and Mexico looks set to be at the tip of the spear.

On the issue of border and immigration, while Trump has issued threats, Sheinbaum has stressed the importance of cooperation. Currently the Mexican government expends significant resources to patrol its own southern border, not to mention dealing with the many potential migrants who gather in its northern cities. Mexico could demand more support from the U.S. in exchange for this work plus the costs associated with welcoming back the estimated 4 million Mexicans who are currently in the U.S.
