Summary

Trump claimed Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to “stop Migration through Mexico” after a call, declaring it a win for U.S. border security.

Sheinbaum quickly refuted this, stating Mexico opposes closing borders and prioritizes collaboration.

The exchange drew mockery online, with critics comparing it to Trump’s past unfulfilled claim that Mexico would pay for a border wall.

Social media users ridiculed Trump for exaggerating the conversation’s outcome and manufacturing a crisis with Mexico over proposed tariffs he’s vowed to implement upon taking office.

    So it’s not closed? A closed border would not allow any (legal) crossings.
