Trump’s administration is seeking from Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, additional measures against illegal border crossings into the United States, says Bloomberg.

This demand was conveyed by U.S. Secretary of State and a presidential adviser on national security, Marco Rubio, to Mexico’s foreign minister, Roberto Velasco, during a closed-door meeting in Washington on August 26, sources told the agency.

Washington requires the Mexican authorities to prevent attempts by the country’s citizens to cross the border into the United States illegally. Bloomberg notes that complying with such a demand could create constitutional and legal difficulties, since Mexicans have the right to move freely within their own country’s territory.
