scmp.com —
US President-elect Donald Trump claimed that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to "stop" migration during their recent talks. He stated this would effectively close the southern US border, marking a significant shift in the discussion about migration. Sheinbaum's account of the conversation focused on Mexico's strategy for managing migration, mentioning that caravans are being handled within Mexico. She did not confirm Trump's assertion of a major agreement. Sheinbaum warned that Mexico would retaliate if the US imposes a 25 percent tariff. This response indicates potential tensions between the two countries regarding trade and migration policies.
