U.S. Tariffs on Mexico could double, Trump warns over migrant caravan
President Donald Trump announced Thursday that tariffs on Mexico could be doubled if the country does not immediately halt a caravan of migrants traveling toward the U.S. border. The warning came after approximately 1,500 migrants, primarily from Central America, began moving north from Tapachula, Mexico, on Tuesday.
Trump expressed on social media that these migrants “will not be accepted.” He stated that Mexico must stop them immediately, or tariffs will be doubled.
He indicated that the governor of Texas, the new governor of Texas, the Border Patrol, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been informed of the potential action. The caravan’s departure followed last week’s U.S. midterm elections, with many migrants hoping a Democratic victory might create opportunities for them to live and work in the United States.
