Trump: Mexico Tariffs 'Will Take Effect Next Week'
(CNSNews.com) - The threat of tariffs on Mexico "is out there," President Donald Trump said Tuesday, and he expects the first round to take effect next week. He said negotiations to avoid the tariffs "haven't really started yet."
"This will take effect next week, at 5 percent," Trump told a news conference in London.
Trump dismissed reports that congressional Republicans may block the tariffs:

Good.
5% this month.
10% NEXT month.
And an additional 5% each month after that, up to 25%.

Immigration discussions at the White House with representatives of Mexico have ended for the day. Progress is being made, but not nearly enough! Border arrests for May are at 133,000 because of Mexico & the Democrats in Congress refusing to budge on immigration reform. Further...
....talks with Mexico will resume tomorrow with the understanding that, if no agreement is reached, Tariffs at the 5% level will begin on Monday, with monthly increases as per schedule. The higher the Tariffs go, the higher the number of companies that will move back to the USA!

Yes we will
We'll be hurting alot more when all of the asylum seekers now and soon to be admitted are normalized & given the vote.

The Pubs have been so disappointing. Instead of getting behind Trump, which would strengthen his negotiating position, they "voice their concerns". How exactly does that help with China? I think it's a safe bet they see Trump being under cut by his own party. I'm sure Mexican officials who met with the Rats before the administration are being told to wait.

Holy Frijoles my Burritos.

Tariffs work. Short term pain for long term gain.

I just want to point out that the President did not say the tariffs "will take effect next week". He said they would ... based on the outcome of tomorrow's continued talks with Mexico.
