        U.S. President Joe Biden and newly inaugurated Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum spoke on the phone on Friday, both said on social media, with Sheinbaum pointing to discussions about economic and trade cooperation.
        
        The U.S. and Mexico are each other's largest trade partners, and Mexico is Latin America's No. 2 economy.
        
        Sheinbaum took office earlier this week for a six-year term, while the United States will hold presidential elections in November.
        
        Biden, in a post on X, congratulated Sheinbaum as Mexico's first woman president and said he looked forward to "continuing the strong and collaborative partnership" between both countries.
