The move has sparked debate, with some seeing it as a step towards greater integration, while others view it as an unnecessary change. Sheinbaum's initiative reflects broader efforts to strengthen ties between Mexico, the United States, and Canada, especially in light of former U.S. President Donald Trump's critical stance on Mexico during his tenure.
