Mexico Responds To President Trump's Threat To Put Tariffs On All Mexican Goods





Epoch Times: Mexican President Responds to Trump’s Tariff on Mexican Goods to Curb Illegal Immigration

Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador has responded to President Donald Trump in a letter on May 30 after Trump imposed a tariff on Mexico to curb the heavy flow of illegal aliens at the southwest border.

On late May 30, Trump announced that the United States will impose a 5 percent tariff on all goods coming from Mexico from June 10, which will gradually increase “until the illegal immigration problem is remedied.”

WNU Editor: The U.S. is a sovereign state and can do what it wants with its border. It is not like President Trump's position on the border is unknown. He has made his position very public for a long time on what he thinks and what he will do. The question that remains unanswered is .... what will Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador now do?

A year, a year and a half ago it was known that Obrador would win and that he was an unrepentant Leftist. It was a given that trouble would follow.

Trump always gives his opponent a way out. All Obrador has to do is not hand out transit visas to illegals in Mexico and beef up its southern border and trade can continue as normal.
Instead Obrador digs in waiting for the Pelosi, Never Trumpers and others to do his dirty work.

At some point the US will not be able to absorb too many peasant, They will not be able to absorb non-Spanish speakers It will have problems just like Rome. Of you think that is good see how many time various areas changed hand like the plains of Hungary. Rome fell and we had the Dark Ages. Obrador might want to reconsider his course of action.

Gotta love the Mexican appeal to globalists. Gadsden agreement, and all else be damned. They want what they want, and with the leftists at their side how can they fail.


Nice to have a president that gets the job done.

Whats more is how every time a foreign nation has a beef with the US, all it has to do is fire up the domestic left. lol


They wont even stand for the national anthem, but their "Americans"

I'll take Trump over Mueller any day.

Trump is friends with Tiger Woods. That tells you a lot right there. After Tiger fell, it was not cool to stick with him, but Trump did.


Meanwhile Meuller was busy persecuting an innocent man in the Anthrax case, ... well, because he could. the government had to pay

"$150,000 a year for 20 years, according to court papers."

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2008-jun-28-na-anthrax28-story.html

"As FBI director in 2002, Special Counsel Robert Mueller directed his agents to oppose the pardons of four wrongfully imprisoned men because exculpatory evidence was merely “fodder for cross-examination,” newly revealed FBI documents show.

Four years later, the four men, or their estates, were awarded $102"

https://dailycaller.com/2018/06/05/mueller-fbi-wrongful-conviction-case/

"Mueller’s investigation had acquired somewhere between $26 million and $42 million worth of revenue for the federal treasury."

+42-5.86-102 = -65.86

So Mueller has cost the USG and citizens almost 66 million in losses. Not bad if your the enemy of the people of the United States.

Trump to show Democrats a hypocrites.

Trump to dump illegal aliens in Massachusetts and Connecticut by the thousands.

Property taxes to go up, up, up to pay for TESL for Spanish, Indian & other speaking illegals.


Democrats will cry about property taxes, move to Florida and then restart their old tax regime and policies.

Rinse Repeat ad stupidum.
