Mexico's President Sheinbaum Marks First Year, Discusses U.S. Ties
Mexico's new president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has been in charge for almost a year.
She talked about how well things are going, especially with the United States and how her government is helping people.
Sheinbaum said her government has helped many people get out of poverty.
However, she didn't talk much about problems like violence or concerns about making the government too powerful.
She's also working on projects started by the previous president and says the economy is doing well.
Some people worry that the new rules for choosing judges might make it easier for the government to control the courts.
President Sheinbaum's speech focused on her administration's handling of relations with the U.S. and social reforms.
Sheinbaum highlighted positive economic indicators, including poverty reduction through social programs.
The address included projects continuing the legacy of her predecessor.
Judicial reforms, which have sparked concerns about democratic decay, were mentioned.
Cartel violence and democratic concerns were largely absent from the speech.
