Mexico proposes broad deal with U.S. covering security, immigration, trade

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Wednesday she had spoken with U.S. President Donald Trump and proposed a broad agreement encompassing security, immigration and trade. Given the size of the Mexican community in the United States, Sheinbaum emphasized the need for a formal and comprehensive framework for bilateral cooperation.

Sheinbaum noted progress in border security and immigration, citing a "much more secure" border and "a significant drop" in migrant crossings. She added that Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard would visit the United States on Friday to address pending trade matters, while security and immigration issues would be handled through the U.S. State Department.
