Trump says call with Mexican president was 'very productive'

WASHINGTON

US President Donald Trump said Thursday he had a "very productive" telephone conversation with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

"It went extremely well for both Countries. Much of it was focused on the Border, stopping Drug Trafficking, and Trade," Trump said on Truth Social.

Trump said the two leaders plan to continue discussions and are expected to arrange in-person meetings in the future, both in the US and Mexico.

"We will be speaking again, soon, and ultimately, setting up meetings in our respective Countries," he said.

The president also praised Sheinbaum’s leadership, calling her “a wonderful and highly intelligent Leader,” and added that Mexico “should be very happy about that.”
