Press release

 

 

WASHINGTON— Congressman Markwayne Mullin (OK-02) released the following statement after President Trump announced that the United States and Mexico have reached an agreement to curb illegal immigration through the southern border and as a result, the tariffs that were set to go into effect on Monday are indefinitely suspended.

“President Trump has proven himself yet again to be a great negotiator and has shown us the art of the deal,” Mullin said. “This is great news for our country. There is a crisis at our southern border and this new agreement with Mexico ensures they will do their part to stop the record-breaking number of people illegally crossing the border. I applaud President Trump and his administration for bringing Mexico to the negotiating table and getting a deal that will help keep the American people safe.”
