A column of migrants is heading towards the USA. Trump threatens Mexico
A migrant caravan from southern Mexico, consisting of 1,500 to 2,000 participants, has begun its journey towards the U.S. border, primarily composed of Central Americans. They hope that a Democratic victory in the upcoming congressional elections may provide them with legal residency opportunities in the U.S. In response, President Trump threatened to double tariffs on Mexican goods if the country does not stop the migrants. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that no migrant caravan has reached the U.S. border since Trump's return to power and emphasized that migrants are being informed about their low chances of entry. Trump's strict immigration policies have significantly reduced migrant flows, leaving many shelters in Mexico empty. He expressed openness to negotiating immigration agreements with Democrats after the elections.
