Mexico publishes the document that Donald Trump earlier flaunted as a secret deal to curb migration, but denies it had capitulated to the US president's demands for a so-called 'safe third country' agreement
Mexican migration and military police found undocumented Indian migrants travelling on a bus at a checkpoint on the outskirts of Tapachula, Chiapas State, on June 14, 2019.
The language in the "supplementary agreement" released by Mexico appears to resemble that. However Mexico's foreign ministry insisted the document – signed by a deputy legal advisor to the ministry and his State Department counterpart – was "not a binding bilateral agreement." Photojournalists managed to capture a few sentences that day, but the full contents had not previously been revealed.
He added that if Mexico did not address the issue to his satisfaction, he would make it implement a safe third country agreement.Any such deal would have to go through Mexico's Senate -- and lawmakers there look ready for a fight.
