NEW: House speaker Nancy Pelosi on deal between the U.S. and Mexico on tariffs: 'President Trump undermined America’s preeminent leadership role in the world by recklessly threatening to impose tariffs on our close friend and neighbor to the south.'
President Donald Trump tweeted on Friday that a"signed agreement" has been reached between the U.S. and Mexico on tariffs -- an accord aimed at stemming the"tide of migration."
....stem the tide of Migration through Mexico, and to our Southern Border. This is being done to greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States. Details of the agreement will be released shortly by the State Department. Thank you! In response, Mexico agreed to strengthen its border security -- a nod to the 6,000 Border Guard officers that nation announced Thursday -- and to take"decisive action to dismantle human smuggling and trafficking organizations as well as their illicit financial and transportation networks."
Ebrard stressed that the Mexican government will demand migrants register and maintain a status while they are in the country. In addition, he said Mexico is"not a country just to pass from one side to the other anonymously." "There is not much support in my conference for tariffs, that's for sure," Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said at a press conference following a lunch on Tuesday, where White House officials tried to make their case for tariffs to skeptical Republicans.Late Friday, McConnell tweeted,"I am glad President Trump has secured a commitment from the Mexican government to do more to secure their own borders and control the flow of people through their country.
