Trump claims victory on immigration after call with Mexico's president, who sees no need for change

abc7.com

President-elect Donald Trump announced a victory in addressing illegal immigration from Mexico after a call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. However, Sheinbaum stated that Mexico is already managing migration and has no plans to close its borders. Trump's comments followed threats to impose new tariffs on Canada and Mexico. He claimed Sheinbaum agreed to stop migration through Mexico, while she emphasized Mexico's ongoing efforts to handle migrant caravans and maintain open borders. Illegal migration has decreased, partly due to increased cooperation between the U.S. and Mexico. Arrivals at the U.S.-Mexico border have dropped 40% since December, attributed to Mexican enforcement measures. The status of the proposed tariffs remains unclear.
