00:00Regarding the decrees, because it's important to refer to the decrees signed yesterday by
00:09President Donald Trump, I would like to mention the following.
00:13First, the people of Mexico can be sure that we will always defend our sovereignty and
00:18our independence.
00:21We are already in communication whether today or tomorrow to start bilateral talks, which
00:26are essential especially with the arrival of President Trump.
00:30To establish all communication, respectful dialogue between our countries.
00:41That is why I say we must remain calm and have a cool head, acting step by step.
00:46So at this moment, what President Donald Trump signed is that the trade agreement continues.
00:51And they open consultations for the review that will be done in 2026.
00:56That's what it says.
00:58Regarding the Gulf of Mexico, beyond anything else, they establish it for their continental
01:03shelf.
01:04For us, it remains the Gulf of Mexico.
01:07And for the entire world, it remains the Gulf of Mexico.
