Mexico's president denies Trump's claim of border closure agreement

Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, has denied President-elect Donald Trump's claim that Mexico will close its southern border to stop migration. She stated that Mexico's approach focuses on assisting migrants and building cooperation, not closing borders. Trump had announced on social media that Mexico agreed to help him close the U.S.-Mexico border after he threatened tariffs. He claimed this would help stop illegal immigration. Sheinbaum emphasized that their conversation was productive and highlighted Mexico's efforts to manage migration and enhance security. She noted that illegal crossings have decreased significantly in recent years.
