On Friday, President Trump announced the bold decision to pull the proposed 5% tariffs on all products coming from Mexico to the United States after the two countries reached an agreement.
Politicians on both sides of the aisle and various media sources were highly critical of the President’s negotiation tactic that swiftly brought Mexico to the table and ultimately led to a path to contain the crisis at the border.
Following the announcement, Trump took a moment on Saturday morning to address those he feels are falsly covering his breakthrough agreement with Mexico.
Trump said, “While the reviews and reporting on our Border Immigration Agreement with Mexico have been very good, there has nevertheless been much false reporting (surprise!) by the Fake and Corrupt News Media, such as Comcast/NBC, CNN, @nytimes & @washingtonpost. These “Fakers” are Bad News!”
Trump went on to quote Brandon Judd of the National Border Patrol Council, who said, “That’s going to be a huge deal because Mexico will be using their strong Immigration Laws – A game changer. People no longer will be released into the U.S.”
Full details of the agreement have yet to be released by the State Department, but Trump highlighted a couple of the major components that are part of it. See Below
He said, “6000 Mexican Troops at their Southern Border. Currently there are few!”

Mexico will try very hard, and if they do that, this will be a very successful agreement for both the United States and Mexico!
