President Claudia Sheinbaum met with J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon at the National Palace on Tuesday for a closed‑door discussion centered on Mexico’s economic strength and the future of North American trade, according to a social media post by the president later that day.

Sheinbaum described J.P. Morgan as the world’s most valuable bank by market capitalization and noted that the meeting took place at the seat of Mexico’s executive branch.

The conversation comes as Mexico actively seeks to deepen its role in regional supply chains, capitalizing on the “nearshoring” trend – the relocation of production closer to end markets – while leveraging its trade network under the United States‑Mexico‑Canada Agreement (USMCA).

Earlier on Tuesday, Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard told local media that Mexico plans to fill the void left by reduced reliance on Asian supplies in several North America‑based industries. He specifically cited semiconductors, artificial intelligence, medical devices, and electromobility as priority sectors where Mexico can attract new investment and manufacturing capacity.

The Sheinbaum‑Dimon dialogue also touched on the overall investment climate in Mexico, with the president publicly reaffirming the country’s favorable economic outlook and the importance of a smooth, integrated North American commercial agenda.
