The Mexican president addressed the political situation in the neighboring country at a press conference on Tuesday and stressed that the arrival of migrants at the border has fallen by 75 percent.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday avoided commenting on the threat made by tycoon Donald Trump about the potential imposition of tariffs if the flow of migrants at the border is not reduced, and expressed her belief that the two countries would have a "good relationship" if the Republican candidate wins the elections in the United States on Tuesday.

Trump, who was already particularly belligerent with Mexico during his time in the White House, warned on Monday that he would "immediately" impose a 25 percent tariff on all imports "if they do not stop this avalanche of criminals and drugs."

Sheinbaum referred to the political situation in the neighboring country this Tuesday at a press conference and stressed that the arrival of migrants at the border has fallen by 75 percent. In this regard, she also defended the work of the Mexican authorities to contain trafficking in the area.

The president, however, has avoided "qualifying" either Trump or the current vice president, Kamala Harris, a candidate for the White House for the Democratic Party. "I am convinced that there will be a good relationship," she said in view of the political change that is to come.
