Sheinbaum also went to social networks to congratulate Carney, who replaced Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister in March, even if he was not a member of the Parliament at the time.
“On behalf of the people and the government of Mexico, we congratulate Prime Minister Mark Carney for his victory in the recent elections in Canada. We will continue to work with our trading partner “,” She wrote.
Carney, a former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, beat Pierre Hapia of the Conservative Party of Canada in the elections on Monday.
The election was close, but Hairyvre – which a few weeks ago seemed intended to become the new Prime Minister of Canada – lost his own seat, which he has held for more than two decades.
Carney, the head of the Liberal Party of Canada, said “Thank you, Canada” in a Post on social networks early Friday.
“Our strength lies in our determination to work together. United, we will strengthen strong Canada, “he wrote.
Referencing the repeated statements by US President Donald Trump that Canada is to become a state in the United States, said Carney in his victory speech May “America want our land, our resources, our water, our country”.
“Never. But these are not inactive threats. President Trump tries to break us so that America can own us. This will never happen,” he said.
Trump suggested at the end of last year that Mexico should also become a state of the United States Due to a commercial imbalance between the two countries, which has encouraged Sheinbaum to reiterate that Mexico is “a free, sovereign and independent country”.
Carney and Sheinbaum are trying to protect the economies of their country while their largest trading partner adopts a range of protectionist policies despite the fact that Mexico, Canada and the United States have gone to a free trade agreement, the USMCA, which Trump himself signed during his first mandate as president.
The three countries should examine the agreement in 2026.
During a call on April 1, Sheinbaum and Carney “agreed to maintain dialogue and agreed with the importance of the economic integration of North America, with respect for our sovereignors, as the best way to compete with other regions of the world”, ” According to the Mexican government.
