MEXICO CITY, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and her U.S. counterpart Donald Trump spoke over telephone on Thursday.

During the call, they agreed to have their respective teams continue to address pending bilateral issues, Sheinbaum said on social media.

The two presidents have spoken over phone several times since Trump began his second term in office, against a backdrop of bilateral tensions stemming from concerns over security and organized crime.

This latest call came at a time when Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard is in Washington to advance negotiations related to the upcoming review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement on free trade.

It also follows Trump's recent remarks regarding possible ground operations against drug cartels in Mexico.
