U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday delayed his new 25% tariffs on most Mexican exports to the United States for four weeks after hearing directly from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on how her government had helped curb the flow of migrants and the deadly opioid fentanyl into the United States.

    One can wish for the best for Mexico while being aware of its history and issues it continues to face. But the fact that Mexican residents appear to be trusting President Sheinbaum to take real action to solve them, and as a person and leader she seems very capable of doing that to the extent of her governmental authority.

    I do think Lopez Obrador and Sheinbaum’s policy of frequent mañaneras and answering reporters is great for governmental transparency, even if it will be characterized as daily propaganda.
