independent.co.uk

Donald Trump announced a "productive" phone call with Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, claiming she agreed to stop migration through Mexico to the U.S. This follows Sheinbaum's critical letter addressing migration and drug issues. Sheinbaum confirmed the conversation was "excellent," stating that Mexico is managing migration and that cooperation is needed rather than threats or tariffs. She emphasized maintaining connections between the two countries. Trump also proposed new tariffs on goods from Mexico, Canada, and China to address migration and drug trafficking. This comes amid a significant drop in border crossings reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
