First time the two leaders spoke on the phone since the 12th.

That call went for about 15 minutes.

They talked about various topics such as drug trafficking and trade.

This time around, Mexican President Claudia Schoenbaum described the call as both productive and cordial.

She said they agreed things are going really well when it comes to security.

On a trade deal, nothing concrete, though.

Adding she and President Trump did not speak about Cuba, and they also did not talk about critical minerals.

However, it's a topic that our countries are discussing.
