Mexico (Client state under the U.S.)

Mexico, as a client state under the U.S., refers to a nation that maintains significant political, economic, and security ties with the United States, often relying on, or influenced by, U.S. policies and interests. This relationship can involve trade agreements, security cooperation, and diplomatic collaboration, while Mexico retains its sovereignty. The term highlights a dynamic where Mexico benefits from U.S. support but also faces influence from American strategic and economic priorities, shaping its domestic and international actions without direct control.
