Just hours after President Trump announced he will be imposing 5% tariffs on Mexican imports over illegal immigration, Mexico’s president Lopez Obrador sent Trump a letter begging for a meeting to work toward a solution.

“Mexico’s President Lopez Obrador asks Trump to have U.S. officials meet with the Mexican foreign minister in Washington on Friday to seek a solution that benefits both nations,” Reuters reported.

They already do don’t they? I think the main thing about them is that produce from Mexico is cheaper, but it won’t be with a tariff on it. I don’t trust produce from Mexico so if I buy avocados from there I wash them before I peel them and then again after.

As for the Mexican illegal immigration proble, halt it and stop it now in the same manner.

. Most aren’t illegal while in Mexico. Mexico issues short term visas then gets them to its northern border to sneak across or request asylum. It’s a system that must work for Mexico though maybe for cartels.

Trump is showing that you need two things to win negotiations - balls and willingness. The GOP has neither on this and many other issues.

Mexico is a socialist government.

The tariff impacts their national economy (government budget) by 5%. The GDP of Mexico isn’t just “tied” to the economy...it is the foundation of their national budget. In socialist countries, tariffs are paid by the government, not passed along to consumers.
The government will have to raise taxes to industry, impacting several US based manufacturers.

The US manufacturers will put heavy pressure on Mexico...or, leave.
Trump warned them.

I don’t know why he needs to meet with Trump about the tariffs. It sounded pretty clear to me, stop the invasion of our border and Trump stops the tariffs.

Those two did nothing to stop when they could have it but the die was cast long before they even arrived on the scene.

President Trump is not standing alone. Although I am one of the Deplorables and have no power, I proudly stand with him.

You are totally wrong and do not understand

The tariff is a tax paid by you and other Americans on stuff imported from Mexico. It is actually a Mexico tax

Mexico pays nothing,zero,nada

If Obama drew that line in the sand, would Mexico react?

HELL NO! Because he was a PUSSY.

Trump, (a REAL man) has gained respect around the world as a president who means what he says and does what he said he would do.

The government of Messy-co is a farce. The cartels and criminal elements run that country. The whole damn country is corrupt. Don't buy into it? Go down there and try to get anything done. You'll quickly learn...bribery is the norm.

5 percent... FIVE PERCENT? What a joke, like that’s going to make any difference. ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE INVADING OUR COUNTRY EVERY MONTH!

Each one of these invading law breakers are costing us SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR!

Do the math; we are screwed and America is finished unless serious action is taken IMMEDIATELY to completely and permanently stop this INVASION.

Five percent is a joke!

Yeah the corrupt president of Mexico wants to “talk”, President Trump needs to take SERIOUS ACTIONS that will makenable Mexico and its president SQUEAL, BEG and take immediate action to stop the invasion and aiding and abetting the invading illegal alien hordes moving through Mexico.

Until that happens no deal, and President Trump should impose INCREASING the tariffs five percent, EVERY MONTH, until Mexico complies completely.

Until that happens, this is all nothing but “Kabuki theater”.
