Story summary

On November 12, 2026, President Donald Trump threatened to double tariffs on Mexico if the country fails to stop a migrant caravan of over 1,500 people heading towards the United States. Trump accused Democrats of emboldening the migrant caravans after their midterm election victories. The caravan began its journey from the Mexican city of Tapachula, near the Guatemalan border, on Tuesday. Trump warned that the migrants would not be accepted into the U.S., stating, "Many of the people in these caravans are those that various countries don’t want — ‘Send them to America,’ they say — But they will not be accepted!" He made these threats on his Truth Social platform, urging Mexico to halt the migrants' movement northward.
