Скачать или смотреть Mexico’s Gen-Z Protests, Claudia Sheinbaum & Why the U.S. Is Paying Close Attention

Massive protests have erupted in Mexico City, driven largely by young people frustrated with what they see as growing cartel influence and failed security policies. President Claudia Sheinbaum — Mexico’s first female president — has dismissed the demonstrations as “bots,” while critics argue that the current “hugs, not bullets” strategy isn’t working. Some opponents have even accused her of being too soft on the cartels, though she denies these claims.
So why does this matter to the United States? In this video, we break down the deep economic ties between the U.S. and Mexico, why the Trump administration is pushing for stronger rule of law in the region, and how states like Chihuahua are becoming crucial hubs for manufacturing that competes with Asia.
We explore the protests, the politics, the cross-border economic stakes, and the future of U.S.–Mexico relations.
