Summary
Claudia Sheinbaum said she will attend Sunday’s World Cup final after a direct invitation from President Trump, setting up their first meeting since December.
The visit comes after months of public sparring over security and trade, even as both leaders have also pledged to cooperate.
U.S. and Mexican officials are due to meet two days later for another round of trade negotiations, with Trump having said in June the USMCA would not be extended until 2042.
The final in New Jersey — part of the first World Cup jointly hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada — is also expected to draw Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Spain’s King Felipe VI.
