Sheinbaum Reports Progress in US Mexico Trade Talks

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said trade talks with the United States have made progress on Oct. 12, 2026, according to Newsquawk, as both countries continue discussions that have included tariff and border-related issues.

The statement came from Sheinbaum during ongoing negotiations between Mexico and the US. Newsquawk reported that similar discussions have involved extensions, partial suspensions, or avoided tariff deadlines rather than a single finalized agreement.

According to Newsquawk, Sheinbaum has maintained public messaging focused on reducing tensions while addressing issues including border enforcement and fentanyl measures during the talks.

Newsquawk reported that market reactions to US Mexico trade developments have often depended on formal announcements, including whether tariff actions are delayed or whether follow-up commitments are issued.

The Mexican president's comments represented a progress update from Mexico's side, while the status of any final agreement remained dependent on further announcements from Washington.

US President Donald Trump also posted a separate statement about European energy payments to Russia on the Newsquawk feed.

"The European Union paid Russia 250 Billion Dollars for Energy" said US President Trump.
