President Trump, apparently irked at reporting that his tariff-averting immigration deal with Mexico was much less than touted, tweeted Sunday that along with the publicly released parts of the deal, "some things not mentioned in yesterday press release, one in particular, were agreed upon. That will be announced at the appropriate time." Trump "did not elaborate on what secret provisions he was referring to, and the White House did not respond to requests for clarification on Sunday," The New York Times reports.
On Fox News Sunday, acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said "there are going to be further actions, further dialogue with Mexico in immigration, on how to manage the asylum flow in the region." Martha Bárcena Coqui, Mexico's ambassador to the U.S., was similarly vague, saying on CBS's Face the Nation, "I think there are a lot of the details that we discussed during the negotiations and during the conversations that we didn't put in the declaration because this is different — different paths that we are to follow." But Trump did tweet, and retweet, one specific purported concession on Saturday.
