President Trump on Monday made a vague promise on a new, 'very important' part of his Mexico trade agreement
his administration struck with Mexico after a weekend of news reports poking holes in his claims that Mexico had agreed to significant new concessions to avert tariffs.

The deal also involved an expansion of the “remain in Mexico” policy, which forces certain non-Mexican asylum seekers to wait in Mexico pending the resolution of their cases in the U.S., which was also under discussion previously.By signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO.
