Mexico Proposes Economist Roberto Lazzeri as Ambassador to the United States

Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum has proposed economist Roberto Lazzeri as Mexico's ambassador to the United States, replacing Esteban Moctezuma. Lazzeri, who leads two major Mexican development banks and has managed federal public debt, is appointed amid ongoing negotiations to review the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. Mexico seeks relief from U.S. tariffs imposed last year, which have affected key industries, while officials acknowledge some tariffs may persist despite trade talks.
