Sheinbaum says migrant caravans will not reach U.S.-Mexico border as Trump threatens higher tariffs
What happened
According to Sheinbaum, two migrant caravans in Mexico have been intercepted by authorities, with one dispersing from 600 to less than 100 people, and the other being informed that it won't be possible to cross into the U.S. Mexican authorities are in talks with the second group to explain the situation. Mexican authorities would not use force to break up the caravans.
Why it matters
The situation may impact trade negotiations between Mexico and the U.S. as Mexico has been advocating for a reduction in tariffs on goods not covered by the trade agreement. The issue also relates to the Trump administration's stance on migrant caravans.
