After Donald Trump took office there, Mexican President Claudia Shenbam has announced that his country has received an estimated 4,094 people when Donald Trump took office there.
The number includes citizens of other countries, though Shenbam has made it clear that the majority was Mexican.
He added that non -citizens arriving in the country have not increased “significant”.
On Monday, Shenbam’s statement has arrived at a critical time for diplomacy in Latin America, as changes have been changed under Trump’s second term as US president in the region.
Trump campaigned on promise to guide “mass deportation” efforts, and has also promised to advance the aggressive “US First” foreign policy platform.
The leftist leader began these efforts in a confrontation with Colombian President Gustao Petro, after refusing to accept US exiles initially sent to military flights.
Colombia has long been a close ally of the United States, especially in its global “war on drugs”.
However, Trump responded to Petro’s refusal Intimidate To increase revenue against Colombia, the first 25 % and later 50 %. His administration also canceled visa appointments at the US Embassy in Bogota, the capital of Colombia.
Petro indicated that he would retaliate against the United States with his own rates. But by Sunday evening, it retreated and resumed exile flights.
‘Be in Mexico’ return?
The news in the United States shows that Mexico refused to access deported people from a US military flight last week, though the conditions that have laid the aircraft are unclear.
In the past, Shenbam and his administration have expressed dislike over the United States saying “unilateral deportation”.
In December, Shenbam also emphasized that his priority would be to receive Mexican, not citizens of other countries.
“Our main task is to receive Mexican,” he said. “We hope that there will be an agreement with the Trump administration in terms of exile so that they can send people from other countries to their original countries.”
But on Monday, Shenbam emphasized that Mexico has an example of accepting non -urban exile from the United States.
He pointed to his predecessor and political patron, former President Anders Manuel Lopez Obrador.
Under former US President Joe Biden, Lopez Obrador agreed to accept 30,000 migrants and asylum seekers from Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Haiti every month.
And in 2019, during Trump’s first term, Lopez Obrador pledged a policy called “Stay in Mexico”, which claims asylum seekers on the US border claiming asylum seekers Needed
Critics rejected this policy as a violation of humanitarian law, which allows seekers of asylum to cross the borders to avoid unfounded persecution.
He also pointed out that under the “Mexico” policy, political asylum seekers will take the risk of abuse of corrupt officials and cartels that move towards Mexico on the border.
The policy officially ended in 2021 under Biden. But Trump’s purpose is to restore “stay in Mexico” during his second term. He took the oath on January 20.
Although Shenbam has not yet publicly agreed on the proposal, it indicated Monday that an agreement could be signed to keep non -citizens in Mexico.
“In the case of people who are not Mexicans, there is also harmony,” said Shenbam.
“The United States has done fluid communication in other governments, especially in Central America.”
He added that Foreign Minister Juan Ramon Da La Fivent has continued talks with the Trump administration “especially on the issue of migration and the return of Mexican.”
To emphasize ‘dialogue and respect’
On Monday, Shenbam also praised the resolution of the US conflict with Colombia, threatening to give rise to a regional trade war.
“We think it is good that finally there has been an agreement between the Colombian government and the United States government,” he said. “Dialogue and respect must prevail.”
Meanwhile, the Trump administration has presented its confrontation with Colombia as a symbol of its foreign policy power.
“The Colombian government has agreed to all the terms of President Trump, including the unlimited acceptance of all the illegal foreigners belonging to Colombia, which includes the US,” said White House press secretary Crown Levit. The military has returned from the United States, including planes. ” Description Sunday
“Today’s events have made it clear to the world that America is once again respected.”
Last week’s news faced that Mexico had also rejected the deportation flight, Levit responded with another Description Eliminating Mexico’s cooperation.
“Thanks to President Trump: Yesterday, Mexico accepted record 4 exile flights in 1 day!” Levit wrote.
But military -led exile flights are likely to cause tensions in the region.
In a statement on Saturday, officials in Brazil condemned the use of handcuffs on US -owned flights, calling it a symbol of “blasphemy” for human rights.
Trump too Said Revenge measures against Colombia are “the beginning of their plans” to ensure their deportation program continues.
Mexico has a launch in the meanwhile The return program of homeland After the deportation from the United States, “Mexico hugged you”.
