Embassy of the United States, Mexico City

The United States of America has maintained diplomatic relations with Mexico since 1822, a few years after that country gained its independence. That year, U.S. President Andrew Jackson sent a special mission as Minister Plenipotentiary to Mexico, and Joel R. Poinsett became the first U.S. ambassador to Mexico.
