Trump and Sheinbaum share conflicting views on immigration talks as tariff tensions rise
President-elect Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum provided differing accounts of their recent talks on immigration. Trump claimed the conversation was a success, stating Mexico would stop migration to the U.S., while Sheinbaum insisted Mexico would not close its border. Sheinbaum described the talks as excellent but emphasized that Mexico would not close its border. She stated that migrant caravans are being managed within Mexico and highlighted the need for cooperation on security issues without compromising sovereignty. The discussions come amid tensions over potential tariffs, with Trump threatening a 25% tariff on Mexican goods unless migration and drug issues are addressed. Sheinbaum warned that Mexico would retaliate with its own tariffs if the U.S. proceeds with its plans.
