President Trump on Saturday hailed a deal reached between his administration and Mexico to stem the flow of migrants heading toward the U.S. in return for indefinitely suspending tariffs on the United States’s southern neighbor.
In a series of tweets, Trump focused on those who had praised the deal reached Friday while voicing optimism about Mexico’s efforts to curtail illegal immigration to the U.S., saying the country “will try very hard, and if they do that, this will be a very successful agreement for both the United States and Mexico!”
The president also asserted that, despite some positive reviews, “there has nevertheless been much false reporting (surprise!) by the Fake and Corrupt News Media,” though he did not specify what reporting he considered to be false.
