Mexico’s President Agrees to Curb Migrant Flow to the US: Trump Update
Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently claimed that Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has “agreed to stop” migrants from crossing into the United States through Mexico.
Trump made the statement during a public appearance, attributing the supposed agreement to his past negotiations and influence.
However, López Obrador has not confirmed such a deal, and there has been no official announcement from Mexico regarding new migration restrictions.
This claim aligns with Trump’s previous efforts to pressure Mexico into taking stricter measures to curb migration during his presidency, including threats of tariffs to secure cooperation.
Trump’s remarks are seen by some as part of his broader rhetoric on immigration policy as he campaigns for the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
Observers are awaiting clarification from the Mexican government to verify the accuracy of this claim and understand any potential policy changes it might entail.
