Mexico deports 33% more foreigners to reduce migration after deal with US – officials

Mexico deported 33 percent more foreigners month-on-month in June, officials said on Tuesday. The country earlier agreed to take “unprecedented” steps to reduce migration in order to avoid US President Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs.

Trump threatened in May to impose tariffs on all Mexican goods if the country did not do more to slow the flow of Central American migrants crossing the US-Mexican border.
