Trump claims Mexico agrees to stop migration to the U.S. after tariff threat

Donald Trump announced that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to stop migration through Mexico to the U.S. after a recent conversation. This claim follows Trump's threat to impose a 25% tariff on Mexican goods if drug and migrant flows are not controlled. Sheinbaum's office has not confirmed Trump's account. However, she previously indicated that Mexico might retaliate with its own tariffs and emphasized that drug issues are primarily a U.S. problem. She noted that Mexico has made efforts to reduce migrant caravans. The Mexican peso surged following Trump's announcement, nearly recovering losses from his tariff threat. This situation echoes a previous agreement in 2018 when Trump successfully negotiated with Mexico to limit migrant crossings.
