“President Trump undermined America’s preeminent leadership role in the world by recklessly threatening to impose tariffs on our close friend and neighbor to the south,” Pelosi said in a statement. “Threats and temper tantrums are no way to negotiate foreign policy.”

Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer took to Twitter and mocked the president.

“This is [a] historic night!” Schumer tweeted Friday evening. “@realDonaldTrump has announced that he has cut a deal to ‘greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States.’ Now that that problem is solved, I’m sure we won’t be hearing any more about it in the future.”
