Trump says Mexico’s president has ‘agreed to stop’ migrants crossing into US through her country

President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday that he has received assurances from Mexico’s new president that she will “stop migration” though her country and into the US — before she later clarified her stance.

“Just had a wonderful conversation with the new President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“She has agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border,” he added.

The President of Mexico released a statement saying she said no such thing to Trump.

[Zamiel]

I'm so glad I'm bilingual because that is NOT what happened.

[nathansanford]

OK, but she stated that isn't true. Why are we reporting what Trump says as if it is true?

[jg]

This is false. He loves to make claims about nonexistent conversations. She has already said there has not been any communication between the two of them.

[outlawblack]

The president of Mexico never said this. She even went on record that this did not happen but Trump is spreading the story to his subjects anyways.

[vangu]

Why does he do this? He's an international embarrassment.

[kendyjones]

this was debunked 7 hours ago. your late. do better.

[villiamfangy]

already proven false, she also tweeted back

[Shadow-nlr]

Nice try, Trump. Mexico was already working on this.

[TheTriad]

Another lie. He's done nothing. Nothing new on that front either.

[bryanbrookes]

Not by the reports online from other news agency's, seems Trump is telling his interpretation not the actual facts. Think some people need to watch the interviews she has given on the matter

[Starkogi]

Why are you reporting this. Should I report this video for misinformation?

[lucydomenech]

He’s such a liar! She never said that!!

[msalzberg]

He's already started lying. She never said that.

[George-fh]

Yes, just like Trump claimed Mexico agreed to pay for every cent of building the border wall in his first presidency. Mexico's president laughed at him when he heard what Trump said. What I've learned is that a con man never stops conning. "President-elect Donald Trump announced that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to halt migration through Mexico into the United States, effectively closing the southern border. However, President Sheinbaum refuted this claim, stating that Mexico does not intend to close its borders but aims to build bridges between governments and peoples. She emphasized that Mexico is addressing migration by assisting migrants before they reach the U.S. border, with a focus on respecting human rights." In other words, life goes on as usual.

[kiparue]

Not True. Report as False Information.

[evankolpack]

Yeah but she says she didn't say that. Trump has "issues" with the truth.

[NinaFahey]

Happy Thanksgiving Kamala. Thank you for showing us why Donald Trump needed to be president

[ryandegrave]

What he forgot to mention is that Mexico has been cracking down on border crossings for at least a year now. They're stopping more people at the border than Trump ever did.

[Followerever]

She said they didn’t talk about stopping immigrants they talked about “building bridges” so what is
