A resolution expressing concern about economic and security conditions in Mexico and reaffirming the interest of the United States in mutually beneficial relations with Mexico based on shared interests on security, economic prosperity, and democratic values, and for other purposes.
SRES 97 is a Senate resolution expressing concern about Mexico's economic policies and security challenges, while reaffirming U.S. interests in strengthening bilateral relations. It specifically highlights issues like restrictions on U.S. agricultural exports, energy sector disruptions, and Mexico's deteriorating security environment - including cartel violence, fentanyl trafficking, and weak border management. The resolution calls on the U.S. President to defend American economic interests, address border security, and partner with Mexico to combat transnational crime and drug trafficking. It also urges Mexico to uphold regulatory independence, protect U.S. investments under USMCA, and reduce foreign influence from China and Russia. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but formally states congressional priorities for U.S.-Mexico cooperation.
