Pelosi slams Trump’s Mexican foreign policy

President Donald Trump’s deal with Mexico to get help on the border in exchange for withdrawing the threat of US import tariffs got a quick thumbs-down from Nancy Pelosi.
The House Speaker released a statement saying Trump had “undermined America’s preeminent leadership role in the world” by hanging the threat of tariffs over Mexico.
“We are deeply disappointed by the Administration’s expansion of its failed Remain-in-Mexico policy, which violates the rights of asylum seekers under US law and fails to
address the root causes of Central American migration,” Pelosi said.
“Threats and temper tantrums are no way to negotiate foreign policy.”
The statement was Pelosi’s first comment since the president, while aboard Air Force One returning from Europe, called the California Democrat “a disgrace to herself and her family” after she reportedly told fellow Democrats during a closed-door meeting earlier in the week that the president should be “in prison.”

Mexico should celebrate the “important deal” with the US that removed the threat of tariffs as it was preparing to retaliate, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said in Tijuana.
The US needs to address the root cause of migration to stem the flow of people trying to enter and closing borders won’t stop the flood, Lopez Obrador said at the rally that had
been initially organised after President Donald Trump had threatened to impose tariffs over the immigration issue.
