From Tariffs to Invasion Threats: Mexico’s President Sheinbaum Stands Up to Trump

Zoe Alexandra, Editor of Peoples Dispatch, joins the show to unpack Trump’s recent announcement pausing (again) 25% tariffs on Mexican imports following discussions with Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Alexandra discusses how Sheinbaum is navigating aggressive US attacks—from trade wars to threats of military intervention—while working to rebuild Mexico’s sovereignty, improve living standards for its people, and push back against entrenched US corporate interests.
