MEXICO CITY, Nov 29 (NNN-XINHUA) – Mexican President, Claudia Sheinbaum, yesterday, urged U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, to rethink his country’s trade embargo against Cuba and sanctions policy against Venezuela, arguing that the punitive measures have a direct impact on citizens and fuel mass migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At her regular press conference, Sheinbaum said, she made the request when she spoke with Trump on the phone on Wednesday, with immigration being a main topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mexican president made several proposals, including “ending the blockades against Cuba and Venezuela” because they cause the people to suffer and cause phenomena like migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She recommended the strategy Mexico’s government used to tackle mass migration, saying it has led to a decline in migrants heading north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The comprehensive strategy aims to address the root causes of migration, such as a lack of jobs and opportunities at home, by investing in development programmes in countries such as El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, said Sheinbaum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The phone call came a day after Sheinbaum sent a letter to Trump, responding to his threats to impose a 25-percent tariff on Mexican imports and carry out mass deportations of undocumented migrants, once he takes office in Jan, next year.– NNN-XINHUA <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
