Claudia Sheinbaum Responds to Trump: No Agreement to Curb Migration to U.S.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has publicly addressed claims by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump regarding a purported agreement to curb migration to the U.S. border.

Trump stated that such a deal had been reached following a conversation between the two leaders. However, Sheinbaum contradicted this assertion, emphasizing that while the discussion was “cordial,” no concrete agreements were finalized regarding migration policies.

Sheinbaum reiterated Mexico’s stance as a sovereign and independent nation, focusing on fostering a respectful and cooperative relationship with the U.S. She highlighted that future collaboration would prioritize dialogue rather than unilateral demands. These comments align with her broader commitment to maintain a balanced relationship while upholding Mexico’s autonomy in decision-making, especially in the face of Trump’s historically hardline immigration policies, which are causing concern among migrant groups heading toward the U.S. border.

This development underscores the challenges ahead for both governments in managing migration, economic ties, and border security amidst heightened political sensitivities.
