New York Times: Mexico, US agreed on border policies months before Trump tariff threat

[McRocket]

'Mexico had already promised to take many of the actions agreed to in Friday's immigration deal with the US -- months before President Donald Trump's tariff threat, officials from both countries who are familiar with the negotiations told the New York Times in a story published Saturday.

Trump moved to accept the existing agreements in a deal Friday after negotiations prompted by his threat to impose growing tariffs on Mexico in response to the border situation dragged on over several days. Talks between Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard and State Department officials lasted for more than 11 hours Friday.
The Mexican government had pledged to deploy the National Guard nationwide with a focus on its southern border -- a key part of Friday's agreement -- during secret meetings in March between former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Mexican interior secretary Olga Sanchez in Miami, the officials told the Times.
The deal's key expansion of a program that would keep asylum seekers in Mexico while their claims are processed was established in two heavily brokered two diplomatic notes exchanged between the two countries, the Times reported. Nielsen announced the Migrant Protection Protocols during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in late December.

One senior government official insisted to the Times that the Mexican government agreed to move to deter migrants faster and more aggressively than they ever had before this week's talks.'

Just as i thought. The 'agreement' - apparently - was basically bogus. Trump realized he messed up with the tariff threat and was looking for an out. So he rolled out these prior agreements, called them 'new' agreements so he could claim victory and end the tariffs that would have been disastrous for the economy.

Trump is SO FULL OF SHIT.

Yep, yep, yep, I am SO SURE that Mexico was right on the verge of doing this ANY DAY anyway, in fact, Nancy Pelosi probably bartered it, and that the NYTs is such a reliable source of good info! Yeah! That's it! Trump just manufactured the entire tariff story as a front just to take credit.

Next on the McRoocketRoster:

"China exposed in secret deal that Xi Jinping has for years wanted a more balanced fair trade deal with the USA but Trump has been forcing him to hold off until right before the election so that Trump can claim credit through tariffs, too."

Trump sure sped that decision making up into high gear didn’t he? What a badass move.

 

[OKTexas]

Do you understand the definition of "most"?

Get your mom to explain it to ya.

Trump sure sped that decision make up into high gear didn’t he? What a badass move.

To be sure, any sudden, new immigration or trade deals being effected around the globe are for ONE REASON ONLY: they know Trump is dead seriously NOT a global Player and not one for polite talk over crumpets and tea. This guy wants shit done and he wants it done NOW.

Really?

And where is your link that proves you have first hand knowledge of what Trump is thinking?

And when you fail to post said link - we will all know your above statement is total nonsense and means nothing.

And where is your link to unbiased, factual proof that the New York Times article is erroneous (that means 'wrong', btw)? Not opinions - proof?

And when you cannot provide said link - then we will know you are mocking something with ZERO facts to back it up.

And we will then know more about your lack of credibility.

Trump is SO FULL OF SHIT.

Yet, he whipped your asses!

The spin? "Trump didn’t get all he wanted"

When President Donald John Trump wins, America wins. Naturally this upsets Washington, which then tries to spin victory into defeat.

We were told that the Orange Man's tariffs would starve us into an avocado-deprived coma.

CNN had a breaking story: Chipotle said the tariff eventually could force it to raise the price of a burrito by a nickel!

This was chaos.

Mexico caved and gave The Donald a deal.

The stories about an avocado shortage and the coming burrito inflation quickly devolve into the deal is no big deal after Trump secures the win.

You fool no one!
