U.S. President-elect Donald Trump expressed satisfaction with his phone call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on the 27th (local time), saying it was “very productive.”
According to the American political media The Hill, President-elect Trump said on his social media platform TruthSocial that day, “I had a great conversation with the new Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo,” and “She stopped immigration to the United States through Mexico and effectively closed the southern border.” “We agreed to close it,” he said.
“We also discussed what can be done to prevent the large-scale influx of drugs into the United States, and we also talked about the consumption of these drugs in the United States,” President-elect Trump said, adding, “It was a very productive conversation.”
President Sheinbaum responded similarly, saying, “It was a great conversation.”
He told
At the same time, President Sheinbaum said he and President-elect Trump discussed strengthening cooperation on security issues and curbing the consumption of fentanyl (a type of opioid, a narcotic painkiller).
This call took place as President-elect Trump announced that he would impose a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office.
Previously, President Sheinbaum directly criticized President-elect Trump’s policy, saying it would lead to retaliatory tariffs and could not be a solution to the problem.
At a regular press conference the day before, President Sheinbaum said, “President Trump, threats or tariffs will not solve the problem of immigration and drug consumption in the United States,” and added, “We need cooperation and shared understanding to confront this important challenge.” .
President Sheinbaum warned that high U.S. tariffs on Mexico would lead to inflation and job losses in both countries.
