Soberanía 82: Mexico’s Sheinbaum Condemns US Bombings

ByMexico Solidarity

In this week’s episode of Soberanía, hosts Kurt Hackbarth and José Luis Granados Ceja dive into the Trump administration’s latest round of extrajudicial military assassinations — this time in the Pacific — and Mexico’s response after rescuing a survivor off the Acapulco coast. With no end to the military buildup in sight, and while attempting to make military action against Venezuela look increasingly inevitable, the US is backing itself into a corner of its own making. Our hosts proceed to break down the new round of North American trade negotiations and what they reveal about how Mexico and Canada are navigating their respective relationships with Washington. Kurt and José Luis also report back from a recent conference on “delinking” — how countries in the Global South can move beyond the historical dominance of the Global North to create genuine sovereignty in the political, economic, and financial realms. And as always, they wrap up with their Loser & Hater of the week, tied to the last-minute attempt to manufacture consent for U.S. military aggression.
