Mexico’s Sheinbaum Says She Respects Canada’s Move to Engage EU

Sheinbaum's restraint is the signal here: Mexico is treating Canada's EU outreach as a sovereign choice rather than a competitive defection, which keeps the USMCA relationship off the table for now. The notable gap is that she declined to say whether it touches Mexico-Canada ties at all, leaving open whether this is a benign diversification play or the start of a broader realignment of North American trade priorities. Worth watching is whether Mexico answers with its own external trade moves, or whether the silence holds.
