“That’s the agreement that everybody says I don’t have,” the president said, pulling the document from the pocket of his jacket.
The U.S. and Mexico came to an agreement last week for Mexico to take additional steps to lessen the flow of migrants northward after Trump threatened to slap a 5 percent tariff on all Mexican goods. Trump says the deal includes a component that has yet to be revealed, though Mexican officials have denied that is the case.
The war of words between Trump and Biden, the front-runner for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, is intensifying.
The former vice president is slated to call Trump “an existential threat to America” in a speech in Davenport, Iowa, on Tuesday evening, according to prepared remarks.
Trump hit back against the remarks Tuesday, calling Biden “failing” and “slower than he used to be.”

“When a man has to mention my name 76 times in a speech, that means he’s in trouble,” the president told reporters.
