English: Rubio on U.S., Mexico Talks: President Trump Has Advanced Protection of Our National Security Interests

Statement

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today issued the following statement with regard to the U.S.-Mexico talks:

"By using all tools available to him under U.S. law, President Trump has advanced the protection of our national security interests. While I generally do not support imposing tariffs, except in cases of legitimate violations of U.S. trade law, Mexico's lack of commitment when it comes to addressing the unsustainable and dangerous migratory crisis at our Southern Border has left this administration no other choice. By exerting maximum pressure and demanding decisive action from the López Obrador administration, President Trump has secured an important victory on behalf of the American people."

Rubio is the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women's Issues.
