Trump announces agreement with Mexico to curb migrant flow after tariff threats
President-elect Donald Trump announced a productive phone call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. He stated that she agreed to stop migration through Mexico to the U.S. after he threatened to impose significant tariffs on Mexican goods. Sheinbaum warned that Mexico would retaliate with its own tariffs if Trump followed through on his threats. The two leaders discussed collaboration on security issues, with Trump emphasizing the need to address illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Trump has previously criticized Mexico for not doing enough to control migrant flows. He also threatened additional tariffs on China related to fentanyl imports, which drew a critical response from Chinese state media.
