MEXICO CITY — In recent days, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has touted her country’s largest-ever seizure of fentanyl and highlighted multiple crackdowns on migrants headed toward to the United States. She was speaking to the press, but her most important audience is U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

Threats by President-elect Donald Trump to impose U.S. tariffs on its immediate neighbors appear to have created a split between Canada and Mexico, after Canadian officials said problems with the two countries' borders were not comparable.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she hopes to reach an agreement with Trump so that 'they send people who come from other countries to their countries of origin.'

Since last month’s US presidential election, five migrant caravans have formed in southern Mexico. The region is facing a new influx of migrants. While some attempt to cross Mexico on their own, others prefer to wait for appointments with American migration agents.
