Sheinbaum responds to Trump after the map that covered Mexico with the US flag: It is not and will not be a colony or protectorate of any foreign country

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to a post by U.S. President Donald Trump on Truth Social, where Trump shared a map depicting parts of Mexico, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and Caribbean islands, including Cuba, covered in the colors of the American flag. In her response, Sheinbaum reaffirmed Mexico’s sovereignty, stating that the country is neither a colony nor a protectorate of any foreign nation. This comes amid ongoing tensions between the two nations since Trump took office in January 2025, including Trump’s imposition of 25% tariffs on Mexican goods, his attempt to rename the Gulf of Mexico as 'Gulf of America,' and his repeated claims that drug cartels control Mexico, which Sheinbaum has consistently rejected as violations of Mexican sovereignty.
