Mexico’s president and Trump had an upbeat call despite dust-up over tariffs

President-elect Donald Trump said his conversation Wednesday with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum was “wonderful” and “very productive.” She, in turn, described their phone call as “excellent.”

Their upbeat readouts on the call marked a contrast from earlier in the week, when Trump warned he would impose a 25 percent tariff on all goods from Mexico if it doesn’t stop the flow of migrants and drugs across their shared border – and Sheinbaum fired back by warning that her country could retaliate with tariffs of its own.

“Just had a wonderful conversation with the new President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “She has agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border.”

Sheinbaum did not say in her post on X that Mexico had agreed to stop migration but that they discussed her country’s ongoing efforts to address the issue. “I shared with him that the migrant caravans are no longer reaching the border because they are being dealt with in Mexico,” she said.

The leaders said they also discussed joint efforts to address the illegal drug trade.

“We also talked about what can be done to stop the massive drug inflow into the United States, and also, U.S. consumption of these drugs,” Trump said. “It was a very productive conversation!”
