Trump's tariff threats forced Mexico to make 'real proposals,' says acting DHS Secretary McAleenan

Fox News anchor Bret Baier pushed acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan to describe anything"new" in President Donald Trump's deal with Mexico, which led him to brag that Trump's tariff threats brought Mexican officials to the table within hours.report that described Trump's deal as consisting"largely of actions that Mexico had already promised to take.

McAleenan praised Trump's tariff threats, citing the move as the power move which forced Mexico to come with"real proposals.""All of it is new," McAleenan claimed Sunday."I mean, we've heard commitments before from Mexico to do more on their southern border. The last time they deployed down there, it's about four or five hundred officers. This is a more than tenfold commitment to increase their security in Chiapas.

"This is the first time we've heard anything like this kind of law enforcement being deployed in Mexico to address migration, not just at their southern border but also on their transportation routes to the northern border," McAleenan said. Earlier this month, McAleenan beat the drum of tariff threats in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper."We need Mexico to step up and do more. We need them at the table looking at new strategies that we can aggressively move out on."

That they made months ago.

Not!!!

Fake win realDonaldTrump ?!?!?

Lol! He really thinks people will buy what he’s selling. Nope!

Why would tariffs make another country do something though...?

If only it was true

Liar

He balked. As he always does. And then does a victory lap! Ridiculous

Newsweek: Stick to the truth, and not report Trump’s propaganda.

Acting. They’re all acting.

Name them.

Our liar president!

What a bunch of malarkey! Mexico had already agreeded to the proposal...Trump just conned his base and America again! MAGA realDonaldTrump Jim_Jordan POTUS senatemajldr GOPLeader SenateGOP HouseGOP GOP

They play us all the time.

Lies

Mexico could give two shits about our tariffs

Trump folded like a cheap lawn chair like he always does. At least Mexico isn't expanding nuclear weapons like North Korea.

The revelation in the NYT set the tone for this and there's no spin the admin can do to take away the fact that Trump bamboozled the entire world. He's sick 25thAmendment

Trump wins again!

Nonsense. The proposals are what they were already doing. AND it's not like China wouldn't be happy to buy Mexico's products.

😂😂😂😂

How many weeks ago did Trump 'threaten' Mexico?

Trump creates a problem, everyone else disagrees, trump reverses problem he created, does a 360 and spouts himself the deal maker.. Anyone, believing that crap, I have some ocean front property in IL to give away🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I call bs.

ICYMI, Mexico disagrees!

Could he blink anymore as he lied through that interview?

and if we saw his body language, he would even look like he is lying.

Lolz. You mean the same ones they already agreed to?

Stop lying

TRAITOR IMPEACHMENT STAT

Another person drinking the kool aid

Cut the bullsh*t

Translation: They made no proposals and we had to back out of this stupid threat
