After President Trump’s spectacular win in the 2024 presidential election, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum was among the first world leaders to call and congratulate the Trump Thursday after the election on his historic victory.
On Nov. 11 the Associated Press detailed the conversation’s critical turning point. During the call, Sheinbaum said Trump first brought up the open border and highlighted the ongoing issues there.
Days later President Sheinbaum expressed that significant policy changes are on the table after her initial call with President Trump.
In an effort to meet the results of Trump’s policies, it’s expected that Mexico may increase immigration enforcement and submit to working with U.S. authorities on the border after four years of Joe Biden’s open border policies.
A week later Sheinbaum spouted off after her latest discussion with President Trump on the immigration catastrophe.
Sheinbaum responded on X to Trump’s announcement and had a very different take on the conversation between the two leaders.
“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,” she wrote in Spanish.
