Trump claims victory on immigration after call with Mexico's president, but no border changes expected
President-elect Donald Trump announced a victory in addressing illegal immigration after a call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. However, Sheinbaum stated that Mexico is already managing migration and does not plan to close its borders. Trump claimed Sheinbaum agreed to stop migration through Mexico, while she emphasized Mexico's ongoing efforts to handle migrant caravans. The conversation followed Trump's threats of new tariffs on Canada and Mexico to combat illegal immigration. Illegal migration has decreased, partly due to increased cooperation between the U.S. and Mexico. The status of the proposed tariffs remains unclear, but Trump indicated he would impose significant taxes on imports from Canada and Mexico upon taking office.
