MEXICO CITY, ⁠Nov 13 (Reuters) - Mexican President ⁠Claudia Sheinbaumsaid on Friday no ‌migrant caravans are headed toward the northern border with the United ​States.

Sheinbaum said there are ⁠two migrant ⁠caravans in Mexico. "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.

US ⁠President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened to double tariffs on Mexico if it does ​not stop the ⁠groups of migrants from reaching ​the US ‌border.
