MEXICO CITY, November 28 (EL UNIVERSAL).- After Donald Trump, president-elect of the United States, said that Claudia Sheinbaum agreed “to stop migration through Mexico and to the United States,” the President of Mexico gave the certainty that “we never proposed that we were going to close the border in the north or south of the United States.”
In his morning conference this Thursday, November 28 at the National Palace, Sheinbaum Pardo made reference to the phone call he had yesterday with the Republican.
This Wednesday, after the call, Trump said that President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed “to stop migration through Mexico and into the United States (…) effectively closing our southern border.”
“Everyone has their own way of communicating, but I can assure you, I give you the certainty that we would never, and we would be incapable, propose that we were going to close the border in the north, or in the south of the United States.
“It has never been our approach and of course we do not agree with that. So President Trump has his way of communicating, but what we talked about on the call is essentially this strategy, and I presented him with this caravan that you talk about in its publication, well it is not going to reach the northern border because Mexico has a strategy, so that was the conversation,” explained President Sheinbaum.
