Key facts
- The report does not say when or how Trump would double the tariffs, or which goods they would cover, under the stated condition.
- Sheinbaum said one caravan dissolved en route while another is only just forming.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Friday that no migrant caravans are headed toward the northern border with the United States.
US President Donald Trump threatened on Thursday to double tariffs on Mexico if it does not stop groups of migrants from reaching the US border.
Sheinbaum said there are two migrant caravans in Mexico. In remarks quoted by Reuters, she said: "One dissolved while en route, and most of its members have already returned to their countries of origin, and another caravan is only just forming."
"There is no caravan currently in transit through our country on its way to the (US) border," Sheinbaum said at her daily morning press conference.
Separately, the Associated Press reported that Sheinbaum, at a briefing on Thursday, said no migrant caravans have reached the US border since Trump returned to office in 2025, and that Mexico would not use force to break up caravans. That report was not used in this record.
