Mexico’s Position Not to Close Borders Amid Trump’s Assertions
Mexico's Stance on Border Security and Migration
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has firmly rebuffed President-elect Trump's assertion that Mexico has agreed to close its border with the U.S. 'Mexico’s position is not to close borders,' Sheinbaum stated, emphasizing the need for cooperation rather than division.
Response to Trump's Claims
In a social media post, Sheinbaum shared, 'In our conversation with President Trump, I explained to him the comprehensive strategy that Mexico has followed to address the migration phenomenon, respecting human rights.' This response follows Trump's declaration that Mexico will halt migration to the U.S. immediately.
Details of the Conversation
