Migrant encounters are down along the border ahead of the implementation of Trump's tariffs against Mexican products
President Donald Trump said Monday that there is “no room left” for any negotiations on postponing tariffs on Mexico, Canada
O n the Mexican side of the border that runs between Nogales, Sonora and Nogales, Arizona, a dozen soldiers stand guard. They flag down some of the north-bound cars for checks, waving others through. Nogales is the busiest crossing-point between Sonora and Arizona. Some 10.6m crossings were made through it into the United States in 2024.
There has been a dramatic drop in the number of people gathering at the U.S. border and trying to cross. Can it help Mexico stave off President Trump’s threatened tariffs?
Troops in Nogales, Mexico, have found 150 fentanyl pills, according to official statistics. Meanwhile, U.S. officials across the border have seized more than 400,000.
