U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday waved a document in front of the press that was confirmed to be a copy of the border deal that the White House secured on Friday with the Mexican government. Analysts said the details further prove Mexico's willingness to adjust.
Trump did not show the document in full to the media but Reuters took a photo of the document, allowing journalists to check out components of the copy.
Many media personalities noted that there appears to be no "secret" component in the copy the president held but there was something worth noticing.
In the document, it was indicated that Mexico was willing to review and possibly tweak some laws to make sure the country is abiding by the agreement regarding the influx of migrants passing through the Mexico-Guatemala border.
Despite the confirmation that Mexico is willing to play its part in the deal, some critics pointed out that Trump may have been bluffing when he said there was an undisclosed segment under the border agreement.
The Mexican government on Monday refuted Trump's earlier claims about a "secret" aspect that will be revealed when the time is right. He made the revelation following allegations that there was nothing new in the deal signed on Friday.
Some analysts argued that Trump would have unfolded the document if there was an outstanding aspect that had yet to be unraveled. Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard has reiterated that there is nothing left to reveal.
Political analysts are currently divided on Trump's statements and the Mexican government's denial about the alleged "secret" agreement. Trump also said he will allow Mexico to reveal the details about his claims.
Mexico continues to block Washington's plan of pushing it towards a "safe third country" agreement. While the government said it will take the steps needed to strengthen security around the border, Ebrard noted that a regional asylum plan involving Brazil, Panama, and Guatemala will possibly be on the table.
It is unclear up to this point whether there were new agreements made since some outlets noted that Mexico's promise of 6,000 National Guards to be deployed at the border was a promise that was made months ago.
Meanwhile, some auto experts commented against the former business mogul's claims that U.S. tariffs on Mexican auto parts and vehicle imports would push automaker jobs shortly back to the United States.
Industry experts said relocating from Mexico to the U.S. and moving operations out of a particular country takes years, especially if multiple companies pack up at the same period. There are processes to be followed and many permits to be filed before progress is felt significantly.
