Sheinbaum Unveils Expanded Plan México: 18 New Programs at National Museum of Anthropology

| Sheinbaum (2024–)

President Sheinbaum announced 18 new programs and actions under Plan México at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, framing the expansion as a direct response to global trade realignment following Trump's broader reciprocal tariff announcements (from which Mexico was notably exempt under USMCA). The expanded plan emphasized Mexico's strategic position as a nearshoring hub: the 2026–2030 Infrastructure Investment Plan totals MX$5.6 trillion, with MX$722 billion allocated for 2026 alone. Sheinbaum highlighted the museum as a symbol of Mexico's sovereign identity and culture while positioning Plan México as the economic platform to benefit from U.S. manufacturing reshoring opportunities. Mexico's exemption from the latest round of U.S. reciprocal tariffs — due to USMCA compliance — was presented as validation of Sheinbaum's strategy of diplomatic cooperation without conceding sovereignty on trade terms.
