Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum will wait until all votes are finalized in the US election before she acknowledges Donald Trump as the winner.
Sheinbaum, who took office last month, told reporters at her daily press briefing in the National Palace in Mexico City Wednesday that she preferred to wait until several states completed the vote count.
'There is news that President Trump won, but we are going to wait, anyway, until today when some states finish counting and we can give the official announcement,' Sheinbaum said.
Trump secured a resounding victory over Vice President Kamala Harris and a return to the White House.
The president-elect holds a lead over Harris in Alaska, Arizona and Maine, where election officials are still counting votes.
Trump's win stoked fears in Mexico and sent its local currency tumbling.
At one point on Wednesday, the peso was trading 20.80 per dollar, a level not seen since August 2022. The peso peaked at 20.26 on Tuesday.
'We will still wait until today to see how the remaining states progress, and also the position of both candidates, President Trump has already expressed himself, but it is prudent to wait,' she added.

I am guessing she won’t stop the new caravan from reaching the US border either.
What a witch.
mexico has some prime waterfront property with trump’s name written all over it...
A bitter ender for sure.
Pull up your skirt Sheinbaum the level of Illegals is about to RAISE
Trump got along fine with the previous Mexican President.
I don’t see that happening here.
I would love to hear Trump’s and her first conversation.
Maybe Vindman can transcribe it?
Well that is good for future relations...
From the Atlantic Council:
“A second Trump administration with JD Vance as vice president (both Trump and Vance have floated sending the US military into Mexico) is likely to prioritize harsh immigration and trade policies in its relations with Mexico. The two issues would be explicitly tied. Building upon his previous termâs initiatives, such as the âRemain in Mexicoâ policy and the construction of the border wall, Trump may seek to implement more aggressive measures to curb illegal immigration and may take advantage of the upcoming US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) review period to demand more of Mexico in terms of immigration enforcement. Though he has talked about mass deportations and the use of military forces to enforce border security, it is unclear how he would operationalize these policies.
On trade, Trumpâs âAmerica Firstâ approach may lead to a dramatic renegotiation of the USMCA, and he may strain ties with Mexico by imposing higher tariffs on Mexican imports in the name of protecting US industries. For the incoming Trump-Vance administration, the relationship with Mexico will be transactional and zero-sum.”
To be fair, I remember Obrador being the same way. He waited awhile before congratulating Biden, albeit the election was far more contested in 2020. (And Trump and Obrador were known to have a good relationship.)
(But long before Obrador, Netanyahu had called Biden. And hew was the 1st to congratulate Trump this time around also.)
We donât care what you think, Claudia.
No problem.
Trump: "Who is this lady again? I don't recognize her."
POS. DJT needs to let her know that all aid is going to be cut OFF if any more caravans reach America.
Send them ALL back. TAX all money being sent/wired to Mexico and other countries.
Every F-ing PESO and PENNY. They are paid in cash and pay NO taxes.
Lol
Yes, that was the pre-planned narrative.
But it didnât work out that way.
Hey lady. There is about to be a very large roundup. And for you that means: INCOMING’’’
She must be terrified.
Wait til he get the bill for the wall. LOL
Claudia Scheinbaum ?
Claudia is about to get a boot in the ass...it’s the American Way. (Hat tip Toby)
She better wise up. Trump has already threatened to hammer Mexico with tariffs if the donât assist with the immigration problem.
Must be stressful running a failed narco-state with one of the highest homicide and violent crime rates in the world.
