Trump Reveals Who He Is Calling on Day One
Leah Barkoukis
Former President Donald Trump said one of the first calls he will make if elected is to Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, about the border crisis, telling her to “stop letting people come in through our border.”
He then told supporters in Raleigh, North Carolina, how he would make Mexico cooperate.
“We’re being invaded by Mexico. But now we have a new president of Mexico,” he said. “I haven’t met her. And I’m going to inform her on Day One or sooner that if they don’t stop this onslaught of criminals and drugs coming into our country, I’m going to immediately impose a 25 percent tariff on everything they send into the United States of America.”
The Republican presidential nominee was confident the threat would work.
“You’re the first ones I’ve told that to,” he said to rallygoers, referring to his plan. “Congratulations, North Carolina. And it’s only got a 100 percent chance of working because if it doesn’t work, I’ll make it a 50% tariff. And if that doesn’t work, I’ll make it 75%.”
