FULL TITLE: Trump says tariffs on Mexico will be imposed MONDAY after a breakdown in talks, despite an increase in military and police presence south of the border to stop the surge of migrants
Despite efforts by security forces south of the border to stop a migrant caravan, Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard says no agreement was reached on tariffs during Wednesday's White House meeting with Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Ebrard says both countries will keep talking Thursday to find a way to stave off President Trump's threatened tariffs on all Mexican goods flowing into the United States.
Trump, who is in Europe to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, tweeted: '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.

We live in interesting times.
Good. Impose them at 10%.
Will this be called guacamole gate? Will Trumps poll numbers dip? So many questions to ponder but first I need to run out for some tequila and limes.
He better stick to his guns on this. Make it difficult for them to get back into the tariff-free zone
Bean Tax 2019
Sooner or later, the Patriots in our country are going to have to stand behind our President and put an emphasis on our resolve. Otherwise, we're just performing yet another pointless circle-jerk, IMO.

BeanER Tax 2019..... there fixed it..
(Can we still say that?)
I think he should demand that 15% of all remittances to Mexico be sent back to the US to fund the border wall.
Good and jack up the percentage by 5% every week until there’s some kind of cave by the Mexicans!
Speak loudly and carry a Louisville Slugger, Mr. President
No, tax the remittances at 45% to start with and then up that rate too, if nothing is agreed on, vis-a-vis keeping the invading horde from our border!
Rino’s gave hope where their is none.
Yes, Mexico won’t negotiate because the GOP senators have been telling them they don’t need to, that Congress will force Trump to cave
Kind of like the congressional leftists told North Vietnam to keep fighting cause they were sure to win
I really believe there will be a price to be paid this time for the gopE’s resistance to this. I’m not an optimistic kind of guy, but it does feels like the winds are changing.
If the GOP doesn’t primary these traitor bastards the GOP will lose the senate not a doubt in my mind the winds are definitely changing, they have ALWAYS had the excuse that they needed the house, the senate AND the POTUS well WE the people gave them ALL and they have given us the middle finger!!! We have given them a POTUS that is not only conservative BUT a true fighter AND we still got the MIDDLE FINGER!!! It was a fricken republican that left us with OCARE!!! We have AREADY lost the senate and NOW I will give them MY MIDDLE FINGER!!! I don’t have to vote Dem HOWEVER if they are not primaried I will NOT vote for Senate I HAVE HAD ENOUGH they need to feel the pain they have continued to dump on us!!! If we lose the senate let the cards fall where they may as far as I am concerned WE have already lost the senate!!! These BASTARDS don’t deserve to be in power plain and simple they are lying corrupt pond scum!!! They don’t give a damn about this country OR their constituents it’s all about them and their donors the corporations that have SOLD OUT this country to communist China and the rest for CHEAP LABOR!!{
Preach it sister!
I imagine Mexico got a lot of moral support from the senate Republican that are back stabbing Trump.
He’s set the right pace. I don’t see this issue lasting more than six weeks...before the Mexicans arrive at a suitable answer. They depend on commerce to pay for their ‘gifts’ to the general public.
