President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday he had received assurances from Mexico’s new president that she would “stop migration” through her country and into the United States.
“I just had a wonderful conversation with the new president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“She agreed to stop migration through Mexico and into the United States, effectively closing our southern border,” the president-elect added.
Trump, 78, noted that during his “very productive conversation” with Pardo, they also discussed illegal drugs entering the United States from south of the border.
“We also discussed what can be done to stop the massive influx of drugs into the United States, as well as American consumption of these drugs,” he said.
“It was a very productive conversation!”
Trump announced earlier this week that he planned to impose 25% tariffs on Mexican imports in an effort to get the country to crack down on illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
