Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum said Sunday she expected "good" relations marked by "dialogue" with US President-elect Donald Trump when he returns to the White House in a week.

Otherwise...tariffs will be the answer sweet cheeks.
F the “dialogue”: take immediate ACTION or suffer the CONSEQUENCES!
Standard gesticulation of the “Lady Boss”.
Always on her mind——US money trail to

2019–2022
The State Department and USAID allocated about $374 million and $99 million tax dollars, respectively, for programs under the Mérida Initiative and the Framework.
This was a decrease from 2015–2018, when the State Department and USAID allocated about $399 million and $147 million tax dollars, respectively.
Maybe I’m not the inly one talking about Reaper drones to take out corrupt, cartel-linked Mexican officials?
