· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
President Claudia Sheinbaum revealed on Monday that she decided to attend the 2026 World Cup final in New York, where Spain defeated Argentina, after receiving a personal invitation from her U.S. counterpart, Donald Trump. She took the opportunity to briefly discuss the review of the North American trade agreement during the meeting. 'Until Friday, the only invitation I had received was from FIFA. I was considering whether to go or not, but I had thought about not attending. Then on Saturday, we had a phone conversation with Trump,' she recounted during her press conference. The Mexican leader clarified that the call took place on Friday, when the U.S. president asked if she would travel to New York. 'And that’s when he personally invited me. He said, Claudia, are you coming? I replied, well, if you invite me, President Trump. He said, yes, yes, you are invited, come, you will be sitting right next to us, and then I thought, well, we should go, because as the saying goes, courtesy does not take away from bravery,' she added. The president noted that she initially booked a direct commercial flight from Cancun, where she was, but the flight was canceled due to thunderstorms affecting New York. With no alternatives, she traveled on a plane from the Secretariat of National Defense.
