Trump and Sheinbaum hold productive call but tariffs remain in place
cnn.com —
President-elect Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum had their first conversation since Trump announced a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico. Trump described the call as "productive," focusing on migration and drug issues. Sheinbaum also called the conversation "excellent," but did not outline new policies to avoid tariffs. She emphasized that migrant caravans are being managed within Mexico and discussed security collaboration. Trump's tariff pledge is part of his response to illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also reached out to Trump, discussing border security and trade.
