but the rally is because at some point,

President Scheinbaum spoke to President Trump,

Reuters reports, Mexican President Claudio Scheinbaum told supporters in a massive rally that dialogue and respect had prevailed in achieving a pause on U.S. tariffs, and that the sovereignty of Mexico would always come first.
