| Illinois signs trade agreement with state of Mexico |
| 2025-04-02 |
| [FoxBiz] Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed a trade agreement with the state of Mexico – commonly known as Edomex to distinguish it from the country as a whole – during a trip to the country on Monday, aiming to deepen economic cooperation. Pritzker led the delegation of state officials and business leaders on a trade mission to Mexico, where he signed an addendum to the Illinois-Mexico Sister-State Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) alongside the State of Mexico Gov. Delfina Gómez Álvarez. Pritzker's office confirmed to Fox News Digital that the MOU – a non-binding agreement between two or more parties that expresses an intent to cooperate – was between Illinois and the State of Mexico, one of 31 states that make up Mexico. "Mexico has been an essential partner to the state of Illinois for decades, and I’m proud to stand alongside Governor Gómez Álvarez and assert the importance of this continuing relationship," Pritzker said in a written statement. "More than ever before, we must reassure our neighbors in Mexico that Illinois will remain a beacon of economic and cultural cooperation and opportunity for our people." |

| #7 Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker That fat f**king pig. Another one a little too close to Jeffie Epstein, IIRC...or a relative. Maybe our hot-shot AG will dig up his name in that truckload of documents while she's looking for Trump's name. |

| #5 Creating new meaning to the phrase "State of Illinois," J.B. now postures as head of his own independent "country." Unfortunately, this probably plays well in N.E. Illinois. |

| #4 Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker If Pritzker is doing it, it's a scam. He is like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Scamitude. |
