🔮 “Coordination, not subordination,” Sheinbaum said Friday, reiterating a motto emphasizing that Mexico will not relinquish its sovereignty in response to U.S. pressure. Friday’s outburst indicates that Sheinbaum’s much-acclaimed patience with her northern neighbor may be wearing thin, especially if she views U.S. actions as undermining her ruling Morena political bloc, founded by her predecessor, López Obrador. The leader of at least one Mexican opposition political party has called on Washington to cancel the visas of Morena officials, labeling them servants of a “narco-government.” Sheinbaum has dismissed the requests as “laughable” and regularly denies any links between her government and cartels. assertive
