US President-elect Donald Trump said he spoke with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, agreeing that Mexico will stop migration into the US and impose tariffs on goods from China if necessary measures are not taken.
The agreement comes after threats this week to significantly tariff goods from coming into the US from its southern neighbor. Trump vowed to impose 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada if both nations failed to take action to stop the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs into the US. Sheinbaum warned that Mexico would retaliate if Trump followed through on his promise.
The conversation between Trump and Sheinbaum was seen as productive, with both leaders discussing measures to address the issue of migrants and illicit drugs entering the US. However, the details of their agreement remain unclear, and it is still unknown whether Mexico will actually implement its end to illegal migration into the US.
Trump has long complained that Mexico has failed to do enough to stop the flow of migrants and illicit drugs on its side of the southern border. The agreement comes as Trump prepares to take office and make several changes to border security policies.
