took to twitter yesterday to
announce he is imposing more
tariffs, this time on mexico.
he said on june 10th the united
states will impose a 5% tariff
on all goods coming into our
country from mexico until such
time as illegal my grants coming
through mexico and into our
country stop.
in an official statement the
president adds, quote, mexico
has made massive amounts of
money in its dealings with the
united states and for years
mexico has not treated us
fairly.
we are now asserting our rights
as a sovereign nation.
the president added the u.s. has
been invaded by hundreds of
thousands of people coming
through mexico as a result of
lawless chaos.
trump also claims that the,
quote, sustained imposition of
tariffs will produce a massive
return of jobs back to american
cities and towns because we are
firmly and forcefully standing
up for america's interests.
the white house says the tariffs
will rise monthly by 5% to as
high as 25%, but would not say
what it would take to remove or
halt...
