Trump has just tweeted:
“On June 10th, the United States will impose a 5% Tariff on all goods coming into our Country from Mexico, until such time as illegal migrants coming through Mexico, and into our Country, STOP. The Tariff will gradually increase until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied,....at which time the Tariffs will be removed. Details from the White House to follow.”
And those details state
the tariffs will rise to 10% by 1 July, 15% by 1 August, 20% by 1 September, and 25% by 1 October, where they will remain permanently if that illegal immigration via-Mexico doesn’t stop. Despite some writers no doubt leaping to say this is a Mexican Stand Off, it isn’t:
it’s a Mexican Sit On, as in the US is sitting on Mexico with its full, rotund body weight.
Hmm. Seems Trump is through playing games with our wonderful friendly masonic neighbor to the south.
