Trump faces backlash after Mexico's president disputes migration claims
Donald Trump claimed that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to stop migration through Mexico during a recent call. He stated this on Truth Social, asserting it would effectively close the U.S. southern border. Sheinbaum quickly refuted Trump's claim on X, stating that Mexico's position is to build bridges, not close borders. Both leaders described the call as positive, following Trump's threats of tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China. Social media users mocked Trump's assertions, highlighting the discrepancy between his claims and Sheinbaum's response. This incident echoes Trump's previous claims about Mexico funding a border wall, which were also denied by Mexican officials.
