Well, President Trump is at it again tweeting that he will impose a tariff on all Mexican goods entering the U.S.:
On June 10th, the United States will impose a 5% Tariff on all goods coming into our Country from Mexico, until such time as illegal migrants coming through Mexico, and into our Country, STOP. The Tariff will gradually increase [at a 5% increase /month] until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied,..*
You have to wonder what will they think of next? I have the feeling that this is another one of those snap decisions that will die a quiet death like Trumps proposed 10% tax cut for the middle class.**
There is speculation that Trump has done this to draw attention away from the Report.
If not, he has very bad instincts because if he ruins the economy of Mexico, that will just restart Mexican migration to the States. It goes along with his stopping of aid to Central America. If the economy there gets even worse, more people will come, which seems to be happening.***
