Sheinbaum affirms that the T-MEC is law and responds to Trump

The Mexican president responds to former President Trump's statements about the future of the trade agreement, underscoring its legal validity and the strength of the regional alliance.

The T-MEC is Our Reality and Our Strength

Hello, community of dreamers and builders! Today I want to talk to you about something that shows us the incredible power of collaboration and shared vision. The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, has sent a message full of clarity and firmness that resonates with transformative energy. Given the recent statements, she has reminded the world of a fundamental truth: the Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (T-MEC) is law. It’s not just an idea or a promise; It is a solid legal framework that is already boosting our economy and strengthening our ties. Imagine the potential that is unleashed when three great nations decide to unite their destinies with purpose and mutual respect. This is just the beginning!

Life, like diplomacy and international trade, is full of conversations and adjustments. President Sheinbaum’s perspective is deeply inspiring because she does not close doors, but rather opens windows to strategic intelligence. She does not rule out that, within this review process, there may be bilateral meetings. Do you realize the beauty of this posture? Recognize that each relationship is unique and valuable. The connection between Mexico and the United States has its own dynamic, just like that of the United States with Canada, and that of Canada with us. Celebrating these individualities within a larger team is the essence of modern, conscious leadership. Let’s learn from this! In our own projects, we can maintain a global vision while nurturing the specific relationships that make it possible.

A Unified Vision for Extraordinary Competitiveness

Remember that meeting in September, a true alignment of the stars, where President Sheinbaum and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney joined their voices for a single conclusion: the most powerful path is the one that the three countries travel together. This is not simply a political stance; It is a strategic conviction. In a world full of competition, our region, North America, shines with a light of its own when it acts as a cohesive block. Sheinbaum expressed it with a clarity that cuts like a laser: the T-MEC is competitive for all three. And you know what? The best way to stand out, to triumph compared to other regions of the world, is to remain united in this pact. That’s the winning mentality that changes the game!

Now, it is true that other voices, other proposals arise. Some have mentioned the possibility of separate bilateral agreements. But I want you to see this not as a threat, but as an opportunity to reaffirm our value and our position. Every time a path is questioned, we have the chance to review it, strengthen it and demonstrate why it was the best choice from the beginning. Complaints or observations, such as those mentioned in sectors such as energy or intellectual property, are not walls, they are doors to improve, to innovate and to raise our standards. Let’s open them with confidence!

Look at the automotive sector, a living example of this extraordinary symbiosis. Interlocked production chains that cross borders, creating an ecosystem of innovation and manufacturing that is the envy of the world. The US Commerce Secretary’s words about dominating assembly in North America are not a fight for control, but a tacit recognition of our collective capability. And when we talk about Canada standing to gain by attracting investment in technology and mining, it is an invitation for each of us, and each of our countries, to play our cards right and take advantage of our proximity to greatness. The success of one is the success of all!

I want you to take this energy away today. The USMCA is more than a treaty; It is a symbol of what we can achieve when we cooperate. It is a reminder that laws and agreements, when built with vision, become the foundation of a prosperous future. The challenges along the way are just lessons in disguise that prepare us for even greater success. The review planned for 2026 is not an obstacle, it is the next stop on our journey of growth and continued excellence.

So, what’s your next step? How are you going to apply this lesson of strategic unity and constant dialogue in your own life? Remember, strong teams are built on communication, respect, and a shared vision of victory. You have the power to create your own “treatises” for success in your business, your career and your relationships!

Were you inspired by this vision of collaboration and growth? Share it with your network and let’s make this positive energy reach more people!

Budget cut to agri-food health worries after false positive in the US

Agri-food sector asks for more budget for health after false positive in the US.

The false positive for Cyclospora in Mexican lettuce, reported by the FDA and later denied, revived the debate about the resources allocated to agri-food health in Mexico.

The budget of the National Agri-Food Health, Safety and Quality Service (Senasica) went from 6,884 million pesos in 2018 to 5,086 million in 2026. This represents a reduction of 26.1%, without considering inflation. The sector warns that this trend compromises the ability to respond to health alerts.

A week ago, the FDA flagged Taco Bell’s chopped lettuce, produced by Taylor Fresh Foods in Guanajuato, for allegedly containing Cyclospora. Hours later, he retracted it: the sample gave a false positive. Mexican lettuce exports—97% of 153 thousand tons annually go to the US—come mainly from Guanajuato, Zacatecas, Puebla, Aguascalientes and Sonora.

Authorities from the Ministry of Health and Senasica analyzed 14 samples of lettuce and water, and ruled out the presence of the parasite.

The Agricultural Market Consulting Group (GCMA) described the situation as worrying:

“While health risks, commercial exchange and international demands increase, the resources allocated to Senasica have been reduced.”

He added that health and safety should be treated as matters of national security, not subject to insufficient budgets.

Jorge Esteve, president of the National Agricultural Council, pointed out that in the last ten years the health budget was reduced by more than 50%, while agricultural and livestock production grew. “You cannot provide complete surveillance,” he stated.

The sector demands that health alerts be handled with rigor and proportionality to avoid harm to producers. Bilateral coordination based on scientific evidence made it possible to clarify this case, but the lack of resources remains a latent risk.

General Greg Guillot met with Mexican military commanders to discuss joint strategies.

Bilateral military cooperation in Veracruz

The US embassy confirmed that General Greg Guillot, commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command and Northern Command, visited Veracruz on July 22. The objective of the meeting was to review strategic security issues.

During his stay, General Guillot met with the head of the Secretariat of National Defense, General Ricardo Trevilla, and with Admiral Raymundo Pedro Morales, Secretary of the Navy. Both sides hailed the meeting as a milestone in the bilateral defense relationship.

“The leaders addressed key strategic issues, such as specialized special operations and counter-cartel training, information sharing and force protection cooperation regarding unmanned aerial systems and the best ways to counter them,” the Northern Command said in a statement.

The North American Maritime Security Initiative and other regional initiatives were also reviewed. The Northern Command highlighted that senior commanders have transformed a professional collaboration into a personal bond that lays the foundation for expanding cooperation.

“The security of North America depends on the strength of alliances and our ability to operate with a common purpose,” declared General Guillot. “The meetings here in Veracruz demonstrate our deep mutual trust and our commitment to addressing complex regional challenges together with our Mexican partners.”

Both parties reiterated their commitment to strengthen cooperation to defend North America, with respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity, and shared and differentiated responsibility.

Operation in Soledad of Graciano Sánchez

The Federal Attorney General’s Office for Environmental Protection (Profepa) and the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) carried out a search of a property in the municipality of Soledad de Graciano Sánchez, San Luis Potosí. During the investigation, they seized five live specimens of wildlife and four pieces of taxidermy.

Animals found include:

  • Two African lions: a one-year-old male and a six-year-old female.
  • A six-year-old male jaguar.
  • A Bengal tiger.
  • A one-year-old female coyote.

All of them appeared to be in good health, according to Profepa.

In addition, three full-body taxidermies were located: a Barbary goat, two black bears and a tanned black bear skin. The pieces remained under the protection of Profepa.

The live specimens were transferred to specialized centers: the jaguar and the coyote to San Luis Potosí; the lions to Nuevo León; and the Bengal tiger to Hidalgo.

The FGR began an investigation folder for the crime against biodiversity, typified in article 420 of the Federal Penal Code. Profepa collaborates in the investigations. It should be noted that the jaguar is listed as an endangered species, while the jaguar and the Bengal tiger appear in Appendix I of CITES; the African lion is in Appendix II.
