Mexico’s government has released a copy of a letter that President Trump touted in front of cameras earlier this week.
Mexico and the U.S. reached a deal late last week for Mexico to take steps to curb the flow of migrants traveling toward the United States’s southern border in exchange for Trump dropping his threat to impose a 5 percent tariff on all Mexican goods entering the U.S.
The letter states that the U.S. and Mexico “will immediately begin discussions to establish definitive terms for a binding bilateral agreement to further address burden-sharing and the assignment of responsibility for processing refugee claims of migrants.”
The document, signed and dated June 7, states that under such an agreement both countries would commit to “accept the return and process refugee status claims, of third-party nationals who have crossed that party’s territory to arrive at a port of entry or between ports of entry of the other party.”
It adds that if the U.S. determines after 45 days from the joint declaration reached last week that the measures adopted by Mexico “have not sufficiently achieved results in addressing the flow of migrants to the southern border” then Mexico will take steps to bring the agreement into force.
