they re moving right now 6,000 soldiers to their southern border. who will heaever heard of that? think that was there two weeks ago? two weeks ago, we had nothing. the reason we had nothing is mexico felt they didn t have to give us anything. i don t blame them, but this is ultimately going to be good for mexico, too. it is good for the relationship of mexico with us. here s your thing, you know, they all say, oh, he doesn t i just give you my word. inside here, and i would love to don t, but you will freeze action it. you will stop it. you will analyze it. every single letter, you ll see. but in here is the agreement. what s in the agreement, sir?

look, it wasn t planned this way, but as we used to say in the business, my friend donald tru trump, president trump is in iowa today, and because i hope his presence here will be a clarifying event. because iowa farmers have been crushed by his tariff war with china, and no one knows better than the folks in iowa, he thinks that being tough is great, well, it s really easy to be tough when someone else absorbs the pain. the fact is, he backed off this threat on tariffs with mexico lately, because he realized that he was likely to use michigan, ohio and with a wash all of a sudden he is, as we say in southern delaware, had an altar call, he s seen the lord, make
we took a big step with mexico over the last three days. this is an even bigger step. we took a big step with mexico. the democrats have to sit down with us, and we have to work something out very easily on asylum and on loopholes. [ inaudible question ]. is there any thought about another meeting with kim jong-un? it could happen but i want to bring it further down the line. meantime, he s kept his word. there is no nuclear testing. there s no large, you know, long-range missiles going up. the only thing he sent up were very short-term, short-range. that was just a test of short range. it is a whole different deal. he s kept his word to me. that s very important. again, the letter he sent was a beautiful letter. it was a very warm letter. that is a very nice thing. i don t say that out of nievety.
