Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard told a cheering crowd near the U.S. border on Saturday that his country emerged from high-stakes talks over U.S. tariffs with its "dignity intact."
Ebrard, who helped negotiate the deal in Washington D.C., said when he arrived back home and gave the president his report, he told Lpez Obrador: "There are no tariffs, Mr. President, we emerged with our dignity intact."
Speaking about the migrants, Ebrard said, "while they are in Mexico, we are going to be in solidarity with them."
The deployment of 6,000 National Guard troops appears to be the key commitment in what was described as "unprecedented steps" by Mexico to ramp up enforcement, though Interior Secretary Olga Snchez Cordero said that had already been planned and was not a result of external pressure.)
