In a series of discussions between the Mexican president and Trump, both leaders offered conflicting narratives regarding their conversations on border security and migration. While Trump claimed a productive conversation where Mexico agreed to stop the flow of migrants, the Mexican president refuted this, stating there were no plans to close the border. Tensions escalated as Mexico warned that proposed tariffs by Trump could lead to the loss of 400,000 jobs in the United States, and they threatened to impose retaliatory tariffs in response. Despite these challenges, the Mexican president remains optimistic about averting a tariff war, emphasizing the importance of negotiation and dialogue to ease tensions.
