Mulvaney: Trump is 'deadly serious' about Mexico tariffs

Published 1 min ago on June 2, 2019

By Agence France-Presse

Donald Trump stepped up his attacks on Mexico over immigration Sunday as a top aide warned that the US president is “deadly serious” about slapping tariffs on imports from the southern neighbor.

The attacks came despite efforts at conciliation by Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who said Saturday US officials were willing to “reach agreements and compromises.”

“People have been saying for years that we should talk to Mexico. The problem is that Mexico is an ‘abuser’ of the United States, taking but never giving,” Trump said in a series of tweets Sunday.

Unless Mexico stops the “invasion,” he warned, he would use tariffs to bring back “companies and jobs that have been foolishly allowed to move South of the Border.”

Now no nation will trust any US agreement. Fucking Mexico right after they made concessions for a new nafta will teach other countries that making concessions is pointless. With Trump you have to get the money in advance. Because he will never pay you what he promised. He will stiff you.
