So, President-elect Donald Trump had a chat with Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum. This was their first talk since Trump said he'd raise tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Trump seemed happy, calling it a "productive conversation. " He said Sheinbaum agreed to stop migrants from coming into the U. S. Their call came after Trump's announcement to increase tariffs by 25% on goods from Mexico, Canada, and China, saying it's because of illegal immigration and drugs.

Sheinbaum also said good things about their talk. She didn't mention any new policies but talked about Mexico's ongoing plan to deal with migration. She said they're handling it within Mexico's borders. The talk also included discussions about preventing fentanyl use.

Trump's plan is to start these tariffs on his first day in office. He wants them to stay until drugs like fentanyl stop coming into the country and until illegal immigration stops.

Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, also called Trump after his tariff announcement. They discussed border security and trade. A Canadian official said it was a productive call.

China's representative Liu Pengyu said they've been working with the U. S. on stopping drugs. He said China doesn't allow fentanyl precursors to flow into the U. S. He also added that no one wins in a trade war.
