President-elect Donald Trump declared a victory in stopping illegal immigration through Mexico after discussions with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. This conversation came after Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Mexico and Canada to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. Trump claimed Sheinbaum agreed to stop migration through Mexico, while Sheinbaum maintained that Mexico is already handling migrant caravans effectively. Both leaders emphasized the importance of cooperation while affirming Mexico’s commitment to secure borders without closing them.
The proposed tariffs’ status remains unclear, but their implementation could affect prices and economic growth, potentially impacting the trade agreement among the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Trump also announced plans to impose taxes on products entering the country from Canada, Mexico, and China, targeting materials related to fentanyl production. His administration focuses on combatting the flow of illegal immigrants and fentanyl into the U.S., despite decreased border apprehensions.
Trump also plans a large-scale campaign to educate the public on the dangers of using fentanyl, a powerful opioid increasingly mixed with other drugs in the illicit market. The U.S. has imported billions of dollars worth of goods from Mexico, China, and Canada, highlighting the potential economic implications of the proposed tariffs.
