U.S. Ambassador to Mexico has resigned

Roberta Jacobson, U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, an appointee by former President Obama, has resigned to the post effective May 5.  In her memo Ambassador Jacobson expressed concern that this is at a crucial moment when the relationship between the United States and Mexico is under considerable strain.

Trump has demanded that a wall be built along the U.S.-Mexico border to keep out illegal immigrants and that México must pay for it.

His administration is also engaged in talks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, a pact that Trump repeatedly slammed on the campaign trail  As a result of the tensions between President Trump and President Enrique Peña Nieto, the latter has cancelled plans to visit the U.S.

México is our neighbor, maintaining a good relationship is of great importance to find solutions to the issue of undocumented immigrants entering this country, a solution for DACA and trade agreements between our two countries.
