Claudia Sheinbaum meets with U.S. congressmen for talks at the Palace.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo received a delegation of U.S. congressmen at the National Palace on Wednesday, including Democrat Ro Khanna and Republican Donald Bacon , who were accompanied by the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Ronald Johnson .

The delegation arrived minutes before 4:00 p.m. through the Correo Mayor Street entrance and remained on the premises for approximately 40 minutes. Upon leaving, none of the attendees made any statements to the press.

During her morning press conference, Sheinbaum announced that the meeting would last approximately 15 minutes and would address strategic issues for the bilateral relationship.

"It's always good to make people aware of what we're doing in Mexico and our position of supporting Mexicans in the United States," the president said.

Among the topics discussed were:

• The situation of Mexican migrants in the United States.
• The need for comprehensive immigration reform .
• Border security issues.
• Strengthening bilateral trade .

The visit by the US legislators comes amid heightened trade and immigration tensions between the two countries. For the Mexican government, these meetings are key to keeping diplomatic channels open and ensuring that the Mexican position is heard on issues affecting millions of Mexicans in the United States.

Ro Khanna and Donald Bacon represent two distinct political visions in the US Congress: one is a member of the Democratic Party and the other of the Republican Party . Their participation in the delegation reinforces the importance of the meeting within the framework of bilateral relations.

One of the most urgent items on the agenda is the situation of Mexican migrants living and working in the United States. Sheinbaum reiterated her administration's commitment to their protection and defense, while emphasizing the need for immigration reform that provides legal certainty to millions of Mexicans.

Security challenges and the strengthening of joint actions to combat human and arms trafficking were also addressed. Finally, strategies to boost bilateral trade , which is crucial for both economies, were discussed.

Although the meeting lasted only 40 minutes, the Mexican government emphasized its importance as a further step toward strengthening ties with the U.S. Congress.

Ambassador Ronald Johnson , who accompanied the legislators, has been a key player in the rapprochement between the two governments. The presence of congressmen from both parties demonstrates the desire to continue building a common agenda on migration, economic, and security issues .
