Response Mexico News Today

And nancy at the pel that trump was apparent focused on as air force one headed back to washington, d.c. we cant say for certain how involved the president was in these negotiations but his twitter feed might give you a bit of an idea. i do know somebody involved in this because ive been watching her e mails about it all day. joining us by phone is nbc news white house correspondent kristen welker who has been following the discussions. kristin, we now have some details about what mexico agreed ...

With the delegation from mexico for 12 hours today working out this agreement. you would be forgiven for thinking it the president was solely focused on these negotiations today before the monday deadline when the tariffs went into effect. it seemed his mind was elsewhere. who can focus on tariffs when house speaker nancy pelosi is getting under your skin? the president was ranting again for the second day in a row about speaker pelosi. after she reportedly said in a private meeting she would ra...

In terms of the national guard, this is an outfit just set up and theyre not sure they have these people let alone they can deploy them to the border. this is nonsense. i have to urge the press, we cannot take anything he says at face value. this is all kabuki dance. see whats actually lee, and i think this is au nonsense. >> i want to read to you from this thing because what you said, this is what i was saying to kristen, i dont understand the legality of setting asylum seekers back. the wordin...

He could set a fire he cant put out. >> look, i think that hes been playing this game of chicken on tariffs with mexico, with china, now with australia. and every single case, he has this political utility in his mind that he wants to demagogue somal of it. the reason i think that the entire thing with mexico is a fraud and as jennifer correctly pointed out, there is no national guard there. the reason this whole thing got pulled back was the economic numbers were much softer than anticipated be...

Ultimately that is going to hurt american consumers. so tonight, this is a victory for not own the president but for the mexicans, as well. but it may be a temporary one. theyre going to keep talking and theyre going to re-evaluate this in 90 days, ali. >> so theres twos elements as you said. the things the mexicans are going to do at the u.s. border including taking asylum seekers from the united states and having them wait while their hearing is underway. thats a fairly big departure. i dont u...

Frequently and then once he stepped off of air force one, by the way, tried to shout some questions to him today to see if in fact there was a deal, i was told he was presented with the final outline much this deal that will ultimately seems toes have come together. so you talked about some of it. the sticking points theyve worked through. the biggest one i would say, ali, the breaking point i would say likely the fact that mexico has agreed to hold asylum seekers in mexico. thats a big one. its...

Mexico in turn has agreed to take strong measures to 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." tonight, the state department released the broad outlines of the agreement including that "mexico will take unprecedented steps to increase enforcement to curb irregular migration to deploy the national guard throughout mexico giving priority to its southern ...

The united states if you speak to officials, they say that the numbers have been staggering. they have used these figures to try to turn up the pressure on mexico. according to cdp, 140,000 migrants if not more crossed the border last month alone. ali, that was a 12th-year high. thats why there was so much concern according to the white house and why they were making the case this was a recrisis and why president trump was moving to do something. again, he was getting a lot of pressure everybody...

Me, jennifer. first of all, lets acknowledge, it was a self-imposed crisis. there was no issue op tariffs with mexico and a self-imposed deadline of monday. the president had to meet that deadline because he understood he wasnt going to get support from his republican colleagues. that said if what is on this paper that the state department has put out that mexico is going to hold asylum seekers in mexico and theyre going to deploy troops got mala, the president can start to translate that into s...
