Trump says he is likely to go ahead with Mexico tariffs via ReutersTV
LONDON/MEXICO CITY - President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would probably defy Mexico, U.S. business groups and lawmakers from his own party and impose new tariffs on imports of all goods from Mexico to pressure authorities there to clamp down on illegal immigration into the United States.
“We’re going to see if we can do something, but I think it’s more likely that the tariffs go on,” Trump said during a state visit to Britain, describing the entry of illegal immigrants to America as an “invasion.” Congressional Republicans have discussed whether to block Trump’s planned tariffs, which have been criticized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and industry groups who worry about increased costs for U.S. businesses and consumers.
While Trump often uses emotive language to describe illegal immigration, the issue is a complex one. The number of people apprehended on the U.S.-Mexico border is at the highest monthly level in more than a decade, but is still lower than at other peak periods of illegal immigration since the 1970s. Mexico is now detaining double the number of migrants per day than a year ago, and three times as many as in January, when Lopez Obrador’s new government opted instead to give visas to Central Americans, hoping they would stay in Mexico.
