TRUMP TIES TARIFFS TO BORDER CONTROL; MEXICO TOUTS FENTANYL, MIGRANT CRACKDOWN BUT REJECTS U.S. TROOPS

AP reports Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum is under intensifying U.S. pressure as President Trump links tariff threats to progress on fentanyl and migrant enforcement. A formal security pact stalled after Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit; instead, a joint monitoring group was announced. Mexico signals continued cooperation on extraditions and border enforcement while rejecting any U.S. troop presence and stressing sovereignty.
