Mexico will return migrants affected by Trump’s restrictions to its countries
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum assured on Tuesday that her Government will return to their countries of origin to migrants stranded in Mexico affected by the new immigration restrictions of the President of the United States, Donald Trump.
“We would look for the mechanisms through the migration policy and the foreign policy of return to their countries of origin, for example, there is an agreement with Guatemala, with practically all Central American countries, in fact there was a meeting last Friday for it, there is an agreement with Cuba,” he warned at his press conference.
The president promised “humanitarian attention” to migrants from other nations, particularly from Latin America, who are in Mexico and who can no longer cross to the United States, but insisted that the new Trump Government must directly deport undocumented immigrants to their places of origin and not to Mexican territory.
The president did not clarify whether the Government of Mexico would pay for these repatriations or the United States would.
“It’s what we’re going to talk about (talk) with the United States Government,” he said.
In particular, Sheinbaum referred to the new decree of the Trump president that reinstates the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), also called ‘Stay in Mexico’, which forces US asylum seekers to wait in Mexican territory.
The president argued that “more than receiving” these migrants “because the MPP is a decision of the United States”, Mexico would give them “humanitarian attention”.
“So the point is, if they are in Mexican territory those people we attend them for humanitarian reasons, but we seek within the framework of our migration policy, being foreigners, their return to their country of origin,” he argued.
Sheinbaum offered the same to the migrants who were stranded in Mexico after Trump’s cancellation of the ‘CBP One’ application of the Office of Customs and Border Protection to request US asylum from Mexican territory.
“Of course they are voluntary returns, but it is important to inform them that, as we have been doing since we arrived in October (at the Government) and that is why this integral humanitarian policy that we follow, that arriving at the border they will not be able to enter the United States,” he remarked.
The head of state reiterated that her government is ready for mass deportations, which would affect in particular Mexico, the origin of about half of the 11 million undocumented in the United States and whose remittances represent almost 4% of the Mexican gross domestic product (GDP).

IICA to strengthen prevention efforts against cattle tick disease with $250K investment
The Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) announced on Friday that it will allocate $250,000 to deepen and strengthen actions for the prevention, control, and eradication of the cattle tick in Central America.
IICA’s Director-General, Manuel Otero, explained that the funds will support the strategy to combat the disease in 2025, focusing on two key areas: strengthening communication campaigns, awareness, and health education; and improving case reporting, notification, and the purchase of sampling kits and authorized healing products to ensure a more effective response in the region.
“It is an endemic disease present across the continent and requires more investment, more surveillance, more training, and more institutional support. It is a very strong enemy that affects the quality of life for our cattle producers and threatens our exports,” Otero said during a meeting with Agriculture Ministers from the region.
The initiative is carried out in collaboration with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and aims to enhance the understanding and knowledge of the disease among various stakeholders.

Milei: Social justice promotes hostility, incompatible with progress
President Javier Milei spoke on Friday at the headquarters of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) in Washington, D.C., United States. In the first part of his speech, he stated that “social justice is an abomination.” His address, delivered amidst the crypto scandal and titled “The Argentine Economic Model,” came after the libertarian leader visited the headquarters of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the second time this year, where he met with Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva to finalize details of the new program through which the government hopes to accelerate economic recovery and ease currency controls.
Throughout his speech, the president praised his ministers, particularly Economy Minister Luis Caputo and the head of the Ministry of Transformation, Federico Sturzenegger, whom he highlighted for his “Chainsaw 2.0” plan, referring to budget cuts within the state. Additionally, Milei forecasted further deregulation and criticized an economic group that “benefited” from the ban on exporting scrap metal.
As he began his address, the President claimed that “he avoided hyperinflation of 17,000% per year” due to the strong fiscal adjustment he implemented at the start of his administration. He highlighted several key indicators of his government’s performance while continuing to praise his ministers. He then turned his attention to the concept of social justice. “Because if the wealth creator is punished and the complainer is given money, the incentive is to complain and not work, which creates an incentive system incompatible with progress,” he argued.
“It has consequences on the quality of life in society, but not due to its economic damage, but because of the relationship between people. Promoting a society of envy makes society hostile, where there is constant conflict over a supposed class struggle because one person generates wealth and it is stolen. It is as if one is living in a permanent war,” he insisted.

Trump says Zelensky’s presence in peace talks makes it “difficult” to reach agreements
U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Friday that his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, “is not that important” to be present in meetings aimed at ending the conflict, arguing that his participation makes it “very difficult to finalize agreements.”
“I don’t think it’s important for him to be in the meetings,” emphasized the magnate during a radio interview with TV host Brian Kilmeade on the Fox News channel, adding that Zelensky had been present in negotiations “for three years” without any results.
The president called last week’s visit by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to Kyiv a “waste of time,” as he tried to secure an agreement on the exploitation of Ukraine’s natural resources. Zelensky rejected the offer presented by Bessent, which would have granted the U.S. access to 50% of Ukraine’s strategic minerals in exchange for American support during the war, as well as future assistance for Kyiv.
In return, Zelensky offered to open the door to U.S. “investments.” In a media interview, Secretary of State Marco Rubio explicitly included this rejection of Bessent’s plan as one of the main reasons for Trump’s frustration with Zelensky.
