The agreement, detailed in a joint statement by the two governments, contemplates that the US return to Mexico all asylum seekers, a group that makes up the bulk of the current wave of immigration.

"Those who cross the southern border of the United States to request asylum will be quickly returned to Mexico, where they can wait for the resolution of their requests," said the Executives of Donald Trump and Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

For its part, "Mexico will authorize the entrance of all those people for humanitarian reasons, in compliance with their international obligations, while they await the resolution of their asylum requests, Mexico will also offer them employment, health and education according to their principles."

The agreement has broken with the position expressed at the beginning of the day by Marc Short, the chief of staff of US Vice President Mike Pence, who was part of the negotiating team between the two countries on Wednesday.

The pact also slows down the opening of another Trump tariff war, this time with its third commercial partner. It was a possibility that unleashed awe among many sectors of the American economy that were heavily dependent on the relationship. It had also begun to put Trump in a bind not only with business leaders but also with some Republican politicians, who were threatening to revolt in Congress, where the reformed free trade agreement with Mexico and Canada should still be ratified. Other Republicans, however, have congratulated him for using tariffs as a tool of pressure.

Negotiations took place yesterday at the State Department between US officials and a Mexican delegation, led by Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard and also composed of the US ambassador, Martha Bárcena, and Alejandro Celorio, legal advisor to the Foreign Ministry of Mexico.
