Mexican president clarifies country will not close borders after Trump claims agreement

dailymail.co.uk

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that Mexico will "not close borders," contradicting Donald Trump's claim of an immediate agreement to stop migration. She emphasized Mexico's focus on human rights and managing migration within its territory. Trump had announced a "wonderful" conversation with Sheinbaum, suggesting they reached a deal to close the southern border. However, Sheinbaum clarified that while they discussed migration strategies, no such agreement was made. The exchange follows a tense period between the two leaders, including Trump's threats of tariffs over immigration issues. Sheinbaum previously highlighted a significant decrease in border encounters, noting a 75% drop since last December.
