Mexico's president said Monday that she's optimistic about the country's future relationship with President-elect Donald Trump.
But she's also pushed back against claims Trump has made that she's agreed to stem migration north.
“I’m sure we’re going to maintain a good relationship,” Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said during her regular morning press conference.
This comes after Trump threatened to put a 25% tariff on goods coming to the U.S. through Mexico and Canada if the countries didn’t stop the flow of migrants and fentanyl across their borders.
In response, Sheinbaum had suggested she might put in place retaliatory tariffs.
But Trump said on social media after their phone call last week that Sheinbaum agreed to stop migration through Mexico. Sheinbaum, however, said on her own social media page that Mexico’s position is “not to close borders, but to build bridges.”
