'He is absolutely, deadly serious': White House official says he fully expects President Trump to impose 5% tariff on Mexican goods on June 10
Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney gave a stern warning about President Trump's upcoming decision to whether to impose tariffs on Mexican goods in retaliation to illegal immigration.
Mulvaney’s comments came after Trump announced Thursday, plans to increase tariffs “until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied.” Mulvaney said there are “specific things that the Mexicans can do” to reduce the flow of immigrants crossing through to the U.S.-Mexico border and thereby prevent these tariffs from increasing.
“These crossings into Mexico are happening on a 150-mile stretch of their southern border,” he said. “This is a controllable area. We need them to put their authorities down there and interdict these folks before they make this route all the way to the U.S.”
