Mexico minister says country has fulfilled pledge to U.S. to reduce migration

Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said on Friday that Mexico has followed through on its commitment to reduce migration from Central America, as agreed to in a deal with the United States.

Speaking to reporters in El Salvador, Ebrard said Mexico had also fulfilled its pledge to support economic development in the region. In June, Mexico struck a migration deal with the United States to avert punitive trade tariffs.
