Trump claims agreement with Mexico to curb migration and close southern border

President-elect Donald Trump announced he spoke with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, claiming she agreed to stop migration through Mexico. He described the conversation as productive and suggested it would effectively close the U.S. southern border. Sheinbaum confirmed the discussion, stating Mexico is managing migrant caravans and emphasized cooperation on security and drug prevention. The impact of this conversation on Trump's proposed tariffs remains unclear. Trump previously threatened a 25% tax on imports from Canada and Mexico, citing illegal immigration concerns. However, illegal crossings have decreased significantly, partly due to increased Mexican enforcement.
