Trump is confident Mexico will enforce new immigration deal
US President Donald Trump on Saturday predicted Mexico would strongly enforce a new deal under which it agreed to expand a controversial asylum programme and boost security on its southern border to stem Central American migrants trying to reach the United States.
The deal, announced on Friday after three days of negotiations in Washington, averted Trump's threatened imposition of 5 per cent import tariffs on all Mexican goods starting on Monday.
"Mexico will try very hard, and if they do that, this will be a very successful agreement between the United States and Mexico," Trump wrote in a tweet on Saturday morning.
The Trump administration believed the deal would "fix the immigration issue," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Saturday in a Reuters interview on the sidelines of a G-20 finance meeting in Fukuoka, Japan.
