Trump declared a victory in curbing illegal migration, claiming a breakthrough with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum after threatening tariffs, but Sheinbaum emphasized Mexico's independent management of migration.
Sheinbaum reiterated Mexico's existing efforts to manage migration, stating, 'Mexico's position is not to close borders but to build bridges between governments and between peoples,' clarifying her stance on Trump's threats.
Trump took their conversation as a major win, claiming it 'effectively closed' the southern border, showcasing the influence of his tariff threats on both migration and public perception.
The financial market's reaction to Trump's tariff announcement revealed its power as a policy tool, indicating that even threats alone can validate Trump's policy approach to immigration.
