WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s deal to avert his threatened tariffs on Mexico includes few new solutions to swiftly stem the surge of Central American migrants flowing over America’s southern border.
But it delivers enough for Trump to claim a political win.
The decision — announced by tweet late Friday — ended a showdown that business leaders warned would have disastrous economic consequences for both the U.S. and one of its largest trading partners, driving up consumer prices and driving a wedge between the two allies. And it represented a win for members of Trump’s own party who had flooded the White House with pleading calls as well as aides who had been eager to convince the president to back down.

“Threats and temper tantrums are no way to negotiate foreign policy,” she said.
It’s a start, but it’s already a lot of a lot more than anyone else would have done.
Wow!
Ap tries to turn a win into bad new for President Trump.
Worth a read, you can hear Goebbles throughout the article.

Nancy, just a FYI..
ILLEGAL aliens don’t have “legal rights” in america.
Once again Pelosi is for illegal aliens right over American rights
The “government” of Mexico—doing the job the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Border Patrol won’t do. Yeah. Right.
Mexico an ally?! They have NEVER been an ally.
Yes, that is the narrative, ignoring what Mexico conceded.
Always take AP Fake News with a grain of salt. Basically useless propaganda.
Sounds like this elderly wretch is a traitor.
How does that botoxed, brain maggot infested figure it a violation of their legal rights.
Does the BRAIN DEAD BITCH think the US rules the world now and our courts have jurisdiction in meheeko?
Valid point.
Whether Mexico even has the capacity to execute their end of the agreement is a good question. Most of the country is controlled by the drug cartels.
OTOH, logistically, the mountains SE of Mexico City look like a good place to stop a northbound invasion. There appear to be limited good ways through...
The Mexicans are experts at slow walking their agreements.
