The former Secretary of State of the United States revealed in his recently published book Never Give An Inch that the Mexican foreign minister made the request personally, so that the agreement would remain confidential and not reach public opinion, particularly far from Martha Bárcena, former ambassador. from Mexico to the United States.

In chapter 7 of the book, entitled American Sovereignty Matters, he revealed the request of the administration of Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO).

“Marcelo, this is the deal: if the State and the Department of Homeland Security cannot return almost all asylum seekers to Mexico in 14 days, we are going to completely close the Mexican border (…) You can tell your boss to call the president (Donald Trump); he knows I’m getting this message to you, but it was very clear. 14 days or nothing,” he stated.

Presumably, Marcelo Ebrard first said that he would send López Obrador the conditions and warned that they would not work. For his part, Mike Pompeo offered help to Mexico for the care of the expelled migrants, as well as to help give notices to Central America about the deportation to their countries in order to reduce the camps and detention centers in Mexico.

“Marcelo, we don’t need your permission to do this. We want there to be cooperation, but it is not a requirement,” he warned the chancellor.

Faced with this situation, the foreign minister questioned whether the acceptance of such conditions had to be public, or if it was possible that the Government of Mexico could publicly affirm that there was no agreement and was opposed to it. Mike Pompeo replied: “I don’t give a damn what you say. Whatever helps you internally is up to you.”

According to the former US official, both did everything possible to hide the agreement from Martha Bárcena, agreeing that there was a greater risk of leaks the more people knew what happened.

At the meeting, they would have also discussed the way in which the “Stay in Mexico” program would be published, considering that different reactions would be generated in each country.

In the case of the United States, Donald Trump wanted to announce a “significant change” in the asylum policy for migrants, but on the side of López Obrador it could not be seen that he had been bowed to the will of his counterpart.

According to Mike Pompeo, the Mexican government was free to complain about Donald Trump’s public policy and “pretend that it had not signed it.”

Of course, the ex-official’s revelation contradicts the version that was handled by the Fourth Transformation, where it was said that the “Stay in Mexico” program was a unilateral decision; however, Mexico provided asylum to the migrants who were returned.

The foreign minister or president López Obrador have not yet said anything about Mike Pompeo’s revelation in his book despite the fact that it has already generated reactions among journalists such as Leon Krauze and Dolia Estévez, who shared the pages where the controversial statements are read.
