After Claiming New Regional Deals to Curb Migration, Psaki Concedes There Are No Formal Agreements

EXCERPT:

PSAKI: "Well, whether or not it was a formal agreement, which it was not, and I never conveyed that it was, these were steps that these countries indicated they plan to take, to increase personnel and security to reduce the number of migrants coming across the border. Those are steps they’ve taken on the ground."
REPORTER: "Just to be clear, are these new commitments that the Biden administration has secured or were, were they already in existence?"
PSAKI: "We never described it as a formal declaration or a formal agreement."
