In this new period that begins tomorrow with President Trump: First and foremost, we will defend Mexicans there, said Sheinbaum at an event in the state of Puebla.
Sheinbaum said that her government has hired lawyers to provide support to Mexicans through the country's approximately 50 consulate offices in the USA.
And if they decide to return to Mexico or visit Mexico, they are welcome here, with open arms.
Trump has promised mass deportations of undocumented immigrants living in the USA, which could affect millions of Mexicans. He has also threatened to impose heavy trade tariffs on Mexico.
Sheinbaum noted, however, that her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, "got along well" with Trump during the Republican's first term.
I believe we will reach a good understanding, said Sheinbaum about Trump.
