Two days after President Donald Trump threatened to double tariffs on Mexico, Al Jazeera reported Saturday that more than 1,000 migrants were moving toward the U.S. border from southern Mexico.
In a Nov. 12 post on Truth Social, Trump said he would double tariffs on Mexico if it did not stop migrant groups. EconoTimes previously covered Trump’s tariff warning.
In a separate Nov. 12 briefing, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said no caravan had reached Mexico’s northern border since Trump took office, according to a Mexican government transcript, as covered in EconoTimes’ earlier report on her remarks. She described one group in Arriaga, Chiapas, as having fallen from about 500 to 600 people to fewer than 100, and another group as coming from Honduras. She also said officials tell migrants that reaching the United States is difficult, help those who want to return home and would provide humanitarian assistance, while ruling out repression.
