After President Trump signed a blizzard of executive orders, many directed at her country, President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico put on a show of her own on Tuesday morning.
“It’s important to always keep a cool head,” she told reporters during a news conference.
Ms. Sheinbaum said that Mexico would support its nationals in the United States, calling them “heroes and heroines of the nation.” She said the country would act within the Mexican Constitution and laws. And she sent a message to those watching: “May they know that the president of the republic will always defend Mexico, above all else.”
Ms. Sheinbaum then displayed the five executive orders that Mr. Trump announced on Monday that directly involved Mexico, addressing each one.

“This already happened — it's not something new,” Ms. Sheinbaum said, referring to Mr. Trump’s 2019 declaration of a national emergency to unlock federal funding to construct a border wall.
