The U.S.-Mexico relations during the upcoming Trump administration are likely to encounter some tension. During one of his last campaign stops before the election, the Republican warned that he would impose up to 100% tariffs on Mexico if elected if the administration of president Claudia Sheinbaum did not help reduce the flow of migrants across the border to an amount of his liking. He went on to say that Mexico is making "a fortune" and "ripping us off left and right."
The two, however, had a call on Thursday, shortly after Trump's victory was called, with Sheinbaum defining the call as a "very cordial" one.
