KEY POINTS

President Donald Trump has said the biggest part of his new border deal with Mexico has not yet been revealed.

It may never be, according to his acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, who declined to discuss details of the arrangement in an interview with CNBC’s Eamon Javers on Tuesday.

“If I told you, it wouldn’t be the secret part of the deal, right?” Mulvaney said at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation’s Fiscal Summit.

Peterson Foundation’s Fiscal Summit.

Asked when the public would see the secret deal, Mulvaney responded: “Maybe never.”

“Because if it works, it doesn’t make any difference,” Mulvaney said. He added: “The purpose here is not to satisfy your journalistic sort of, you know, inquiries as to what the deal is. The goal is to reduce the number of people crossing the border.”
