Mexico: Heading into 2026

FRIDAY, JANUARY 2
PROGRAM #11008 12:00 PM PT

Mexico Edition. 

Heading into 2026, Mexico will face pivotal choices on economic policy, public security, electoral reform, and the launching of a universal health care system, as President Claudia Sheinbaum’s governing project enters a phase of consolidation. The Plan México aims to place the nation among the world’s ten largest economies, alongside a tense renegotiation of the USMCA with the United States. Adding to the moment is the World Cup, which will further intensify trilateral relations among the U.S., Canada, and other countries. This program includes a report on the derailment of the Interoceanic Train, the investigation to determine its causes, and assistance for those affected.

Guests: Víctor Bárcenas, Reporter, Radio Educación, Mexico City, MX; Eduardo Huchim, Journalist, Former Advisor to the Electoral Institute of DF, Mexico City, MX; excerpts from recent statements by Mexico’s President, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, and Mexico’s Minister of Economy, Marcelo Ebrard.
