President to give speeches on both days of unprecedented gathering
Howard Lutnick, Trump’s secretary of commerce, scrapped a planned trip to Mexico City on Wednesday to meet with Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum, the country’s secretary of economy said in a post to social media on Wednesday morning.
Lutnick’s meeting with Mexican leaders will instead take place over a video call, Marcelo Ebrard, Mexico’s economy secretary, said in a brief statement posted to X. Their conversation, which will include discussions of trade between the US and Mexico, will take place in the shadow of the escalating tariff war between the US and Canada.
