After three days of negotiations over U.S. President Donald Trump ’s threats to impose 5% tariffs on all Mexican goods on Monday, President Trump tweeted on Friday that the U.S. had reached a signed agreement with Mexico to stop the tariffs. He added that Mexico had agreed to “take strong measures to stem the tide of migration” to the U.S. southern border.

....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. Details of the agreement will be released shortly by the State Department. Thank you!
