Trump calls conversation with Mexico's Sheinbaum wonderful as migration talks continue
US president-elect Donald Trump reported a "wonderful" conversation with Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum, easing tensions over his proposed 25% tariffs on Mexican imports. This call was the first since Trump's announcement earlier this week. Sheinbaum had previously warned that a trade war could harm both nations. However, after the call, both leaders described the discussion positively, with Trump thanking Mexico for its efforts to address migration. Despite their positive exchange, Trump and Sheinbaum differed on Mexico's approach to migration. Trump suggested Mexico would close its southern border, while Sheinbaum emphasized building bridges rather than closing borders.
