Trump Threatens Import Tariffs If Mexico Doesn't Stem 'Invasion' Of Migrants

Description

According to a report by Reuters, on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump told Mexico to stop the 'invasion' and 'onslaught' of migrants entering the United States illegally, or face rising US import tariffs which would cause the loss of foreign investment. During a news conference in London on Tuesday, Trump reportedly said that, "Mexico should step up and stop this onslaught, this invasion into our country." Trump reportedly went on to say that he would probably order new tariffs on all Mexican goods imported to the United States next week, citing high numbers of migrants entering the United States from Mexico.
