Former President Donald Trump stated that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to “stop” migration into the U.S., claiming this would “effectively close” the southern border. Trump shared the announcement on his Truth Social platform.
In contrast, Sheinbaum posted on X about their discussion on Mexico’s migration strategy but did not mention any agreement to close the border.
The claim adds fuel to the ongoing debate over U.S.-Mexico border policies as Trump emphasizes immigration control in his 2024 presidential campaign.
While Trump portrays the conversation as a breakthrough on border security, Sheinbaum’s remarks suggest a more measured dialogue, leaving ambiguity about any concrete agreement.
Migration remains a critical issue for both nations, balancing border management with addressing humanitarian challenges and international cooperation.
