CNN: Mexico President Responds to Trump that Its ‘Position Is Not to Close Borders’

TRANSCRIPT:

CORNISH: “We’re going to get right to what America is talking about. It’s he said, she said, breaking tonight a dispute between the president-elect of the U.S. and Mexico’s president over a phone call. Who agreed to what, and what it may mean for the U.S.-Mexico relationship. Donald Trump brought out some of his best words, for example, wonderful, to describe a conversation with Mexico’s Claudia Sheinbaum, ending his Truth Social post by claiming she agreed to, quote, stop migration through Mexico and into the United States. Sheinbaum actually just responded moments ago, and the short version is, never, no, not once, did she say anything of the kind. Sheinbaum on X was writing, we reiterate that Mexico’s position is not to close borders, but to build bridges between governments and between peoples.”
