Trump claims agreement with Mexico to curb migration through southern border
kcra.com —
President-elect Donald Trump announced he spoke with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who agreed to stop migration through Mexico. Trump described the conversation as productive and claimed it would effectively close the U.S. southern border. Sheinbaum confirmed the discussion, stating that Mexico is managing migrant caravans and emphasized cooperation on security issues, including fentanyl prevention. Trump previously threatened to impose a 25% tariff on products from Canada and Mexico, but it remains unclear how the conversation will affect this plan. Illegal migration has decreased significantly, partly due to increased Mexican enforcement.
