Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump held a phone conversation addressing immigration and drug trafficking. Sheinbaum assured there would be no tariff war, despite Trump's threats of 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada if migration and fentanyl issues are not resolved. The dialogue reflects ongoing tensions and differing approaches to border security.
Tensions between the U.S. and Mexico have escalated following Trump's election, with threats of tariffs aimed at curbing illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Sheinbaum, who took office in October 2024, has emphasized Mexico's efforts to manage migration and drug issues, contrasting with Trump's aggressive stance.
