Trump and Sheinbaum clash over border conversation and migration strategy

President-elect Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum have conflicting accounts of their recent conversation about migration. Trump claimed Sheinbaum agreed to stop immigration through Mexico, while she stated Mexico's strategy focuses on respecting human rights and building connections. Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico does not plan to close its borders. She noted that migrant caravans are not reaching the U.S. because they are being assisted in Mexico. The discussion followed Trump's announcement of proposed tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China, aimed at addressing the fentanyl crisis. Sheinbaum responded by highlighting the importance of cooperation over threats.
