reporting about the immigration deal haled by president trump and some republicans after it averted the president's threat to impose tariffs on mexico. "the new york times" says the agreement consisted of largely of actions mexico had promised to take in prior discussions with the united states. the tooims cites both sides and yesterday my colleague amitriptyline alex witt whether this was actually a good deal for his country? >> i think it's a terrible deal for mexico. we're doing the united states dirty work for it, but if the choice was tariffs or this bad deal, probably this bad deal is better. if you don't do what i want, i will slap tariffs on you. that's pretty much what i call extorsion. the proof of it is president trump backed off the minute he got most of what he wanted. >> he calls it extorsion.
