West Palm Beach/Toronto. US President-elect Donald Trump claimed victory in curbing illegal immigrants after talks with the Mexican President. However, on the other hand, Mexico’s Claudia Sheinbaum has said that her country is already making efforts in this regard and has no interest in closing the borders. Before their talks, Trump had threatened to impose new tariffs on Canada and Mexico as part of a crackdown on illegal immigrants and drug trafficking.
Trump said Sheinbaum “has agreed to crack down on illegal immigration from Mexico.” On the other hand, Sheinbaum said in a post on social media that he told Trump that Mexico is already playing its role in the matter of migrants. He described the conversation with Trump as wonderful. “We reiterate that Mexico’s approach is not to close the borders but to bridge the gap between governments as well as people,” Sheinbaum said.
Sheinbaum said, “There was discussion about Mexico’s strategy on the issue of migrants. “I told them that migrants are not going to the US border because Mexico is taking care of them.” Trump, while not clarifying his stance on the proposed tariffs, said on the Truth social media account that the talks would effectively close our southern border. Was about to do. He described the conversation as very positive.

The official said Wednesday that Canada is preparing for every eventuality and is continuing to consider what goods should be retaliated against.
