Mexico had planned on most actions in border deal before Trump tariff threat

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.

…On Saturday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused Trump in a statement of having “undermined America’s preeminent leadership role in the world by recklessly threatening to impose tariffs on our close friend and neighbor to the south.”

Congress, she said, will hold the White House “accountable for its failures to address the humanitarian situation at our southern border.”
