Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the President of Mexico City, addressed allegations made by U.S. legislator Carlos A. Giménez, who claimed she canceled a meeting with a delegation of politicians. In her morning conference, Sheinbaum clarified that the meeting was never intended to be on her agenda, stating that discussions with the visiting U.S. legislators were to be conducted by the Foreign Relations Secretary instead. She expressed that they had other pressing matters to attend to, leading to the decision not to host them personally.

Sheinbaum emphasized that the delegation still had a working meeting with the Foreign Relations Secretary, which was prearranged from the start. She reiterated her openness to meetings with U.S. legislators in the past, but highlighted the importance of prioritizing her schedule. This situation points to the underlying political dynamics and the importance of diplomatic communication between Mexico and the United States.

The exchange not only highlights the relationship between Mexican political figures and their U.S. counterparts but also the various priorities that come with managing international relations. Sheinbaum's statement aims to clarify any misunderstandings and emphasize the structure and scheduling of such meetings as part of the diplomatic protocol.
