“Agreeing to them” and actually being held-to-account for doing them are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!
Trump showed that he was not happy with Mexico’s lackluster efforts, REGARDLESS of their lip service.
How come the media and the Democrats don’t understand or know/report this?!?
Bullshit news.

The tariffs are suspended to see if Mexico does as promised. However, it is congress that needs to resolve this disaster through legislation. Any plan that depends on a foreign nation is a fools plan.
The Slimes once again shows it’s nothing but a Democrat propaganda organ.
What bastards they are at the NYT! Mexico agreed with the TRUMP administration months before, not with the United States, and the NYT says hoping that we don’t connect “United States” with Trump.
Maggie won a Pulitzer for #Fakenews.
“...over the past several months...”
Yeah, right....When were they gonna do it??? In the next several months???
This shows the stupidity of the NYT and the people who read it...
I don’t care about Mexico’s southern border.
WHO the hell cares when they discussed it. THIS POTUS is the first POTUS, the ONLY POTUS to see such results.
Bring it on Mr. President!
Important point is that these deals were reached in Dec 2018 with the functionaries of the previous Mexican administration. AMLO began his term Dec 1 2018. And he changed Mexican policy, de facto.
The story, as usual with the NYT, is disingenuous.

AGREEING to do something, and actually DOING it are world’s apart. It took our Donald and the promise of tariffs to move them off their haunches. But I suspect they never agreed to anything previously, and this was just more Fake News. Otherwise Maggie would have mentioned it the INSTANT Trump brought it up.
I am sure that Mexico has pledged over the years to do anything within its power to stop the flow.
However, it was the threat of tariffs that moved them off their sorry asses.
Tuesday has came. Can't get any dumber than the New York Times.
“A promise made is a debt unpaid,” is a line from THE CREMATION OF SAM McGEE by poet Robert Service.
Hahahaha...hahaha...gulp...hahaha. And yet they didn’t, the Slimes busts me up.
From the article: “It was unclear whether Mr. Trump believed that the agreement truly represented new and broader concessions, or whether the president understood the limits of the deal but accepted it as a face-saving way to escape from the political and economic consequences”
In other words, per the Times, it was unclear whether Mr. Trump was stupid, or whether he was just saving face.
Nice options, huh?
Compared to: It appears that the threat of tariffs is being taken seriously and Mexico will now follow through on their earlier, unkept, promises. We’ll have to see if they do, but if they do, Mr. Trump will clearly have won this round.
All I know is that in the last few days there was the unmistakable sound of a fresh round being jacked into a shotgun. The sound came from the Whitehouse.
I heard it and so did Mexico.
Now they are. Tired of still losing, NYT?
