Mexico tariffs

Trump says it's likely Mexico tariffs take effect

By POLITICO STAFF

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he expects new tariffs on Mexico to take effect next week even as talks continue about stemming the flow of migrants across the border.

"We are going to see if we can do something, but I think it's more likely that the tariffs go on," Trump said during a press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May. "And we will probably be talking during the time that the tariffs are on, and they are going to be paid."

Trump said the U.S. and Mexico are set to meet Wednesday as Mexico looks to avoid the levies, which are set to go into effect Monday.
