Just hours after President Trump announced he will be imposing 5% tariffs on Mexican imports over illegal immigration, Mexico’s president Lopez Obrador sent Trump a letter begging for a meeting to work toward a solution.

“Mexico’s President Lopez Obrador asks Trump to have U.S. officials meet with the Mexican foreign minister in Washington on Friday to seek a solution that benefits both nations,” Reuters reported.

Mexico wants to talk about bending the knee. Facing total economic collapse and massive civil unrest in just a matter of weeks, can have that effect.

What a shame Trump has to get mesico to stop the illegals invasion from central america because our stupid traitorous demoncraps have passed laws that prevent us from throwing them out once they reach here by any means.

Insanity.

They can talk...but the tariffs MUST be implemented and continued (along with the scheduled increases) until the southern border illegal immigration comes to a DEAD STOP!

So now president Trump should get the Mexicans to use the money (10 billion?) we gave them in foreign aid to pay us for building the wall. Maybe they install the wall with graffiti already painted on. Huge pro trump spray paint murals for 100s of miles ...

Amlo realizes it’s impossible for Mexico to retaliate against U.S. tariffs on Mexican imports if he doesn’t stop flooding our border. Mexico business interests will take a financial hit when the stock market opens, if Mexico doesn’t fix the problem.

(Reuters) The announcement rattled investors who feared that worsening trade frictions could hurt the global economy. The Mexican peso, U.S. stock index futures and Asian stock markets tumbled on the news, including the shares of Japanese automakers who ship cars from Mexico to the United States.

Of the 4 automakers with assembly plants in Mexico: Shares in Toyota, Nissan, & Honda fell around 3% +. Mazda fell nearly 7%.

The Mexican government had better figure it out by tomorrow or things will get ugly fast.

The people in Mexico are getting fed up with this mess too. Am sure their president is hearing about this.

Make him wait till after the tariffs have been in effect a few working days. My guess is most people still do not believe the president will actually do as he threatens to do.
The Cavarans, aided and abetted by the Mexicans have largely ignored statements of Pres. Trump.

No compromise. All or nothing. Usually America gets played in these situations where we accept I.O.U.s and empty promises, but nothing changes.
