STERLING, Va. - President Donald Trump on Sunday dangled renewing his tariff threat on Mexico if the U.S. ally doesn’t co-operate on border issues, as Democratic challengers criticized a deal reached to avert the tariffs as overblown. The tweets came amid questions about just how much of the deal — announced with great fanfare Friday — was really new. It included a commitment from Mexico, for instance, to deploy its new National Guard to the country’s southern border with Guatemala. Mexico, however, had already intended to do that before Trump’s latest threat and had made that clear to U.S. officials. Trump echoed the same in his tweets, insisting the deal was being misrepresented.
