Trump sees 'good chance' of Mexico migration deal as US tariffs loom on Mexican goods
US President Trump says good chance US will reach immigration deal with Mexico but adds"if we are unable to make the deal, Mexico will begin paying tariffs at the 5 percent level on Monday."
But Trump warned that if an agreement cannot be reached in crunch talks between US and Mexican officials in Washington, that the five-percent tariffs will go into place on Monday – a move which could clobber Mexico's economy. Trump made the Twitter comments from Air Force One as it was returning from Europe to Washington, where Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard was meeting with US officials at the State Department for the third day to discuss US demands for a crackdown on Central American migrants crossing into the US from Mexico.
Last week Trump announced that, starting from Monday, June 10, a five percent tariff would be applied to all goods from export-dependent Mexico, rising by five percentage points each month to a high of 25 percent, until US demands on migrant controls were satisfied. Mexico has scrambled to appease Washington, agreeing on Thursday to deploy 6,000 National Guard troops to its southern border, blocking a new migrant caravan and freezing the bank accounts of suspected human traffickers.
In recent months the migrant groups have been dominated by families with children, many fleeing chronic violence and poverty and hoping to request asylum in the United States.
