Vice President Mike Pence and other top administration officials will meet Wednesday with Mexicos top diplomat as both sides try to avert the potentially crippling economic consequences of President Trumps threat to impose tariffs on all Mexican imports.
Mr. Trump has vowed to impose a 5 percent tariff on all goods from Mexico beginning Monday and to increase the tax to 25 percent by October if Mexico does not prevent migrants from illegally entering the United States. On Tuesday, Mr. Trump said that it was more likely that the tariffs would be imposed. But on Wednesday, the president said he believed Mexico was ready to make a deal to prevent the tariffs from going into effect.
Mexico, you know, wants to make a deal, Mr. Trump said during a trip to Ireland. They have their entire delegation right now going over to probably the White House location to negotiate with our people.

Good.
All this whining...
If they settle quickly, Trump will have been proven exactly right once again.
When will the folks on our side learn?
Making a deal, and Mexico enforcing it are two different things.
The ONLY solution to this MEXICAN INVASION is to:
PUNISH MEXICO!!!
He IS the deal maker, right?
Last time this happened he decided to leave the border open for another year—but he’ll really shut it down after that! Hate to find out what we give up this time.
Keep the illegals the hell away from our border.
That is the deal.
Bad. We have an agreement. 25% tariffs. That’s a good agreement.
I think Trump will make them a deal that they can’t refuse.
No what I mean? Fuggetaboutit.
They’re not on our side, and they’re not stupid, they’re willfully malicious.
Tariffs are not taxes. They are fees imposed on another country’s goods.
Why would Congress have an approval authority?
The budget (CR) has been approved and the Executive is charged with implementing it in a fiduciary fashion. Tariffs are unrealized income when they are collected.
Mitch is as much a part of the problem as many other Leftists.
He’s been decent with regard to judges, but even there he took forever to implement the nuclear option.
He spent two years avoiding taking action on things we’ve needed action on for fifty or sixty years.
Now this.
Mexico is working feverishly to avoid tariffs, and here McConnell thinks it’s an opportune moment to undercut the impetus for that.
Mitch is such an A H.
I see no reason to make a deal.
It’s either, or.
Really, what is there to negotiate? Our repeated surrender?
I agree.
It’s so transparent. At the slightest hint Trump might do something wrong someday, they pounce.
They want to do it from the vantage point they are being Conservative.
Destroying the one man who is working hard to do most of what was in his platform is not an act of Conservatism.
No other candidate will put in 1/5th the things Trump did in his platform.
At that, they won’t do 25% of what they did put in.
He is.
We can’t afford a wholesale removal of RINO Senators next year, but it would be a shot across the bow, if Kentucky would send McConnell packing.
Indeed. We may be dealing with the wrong people. The government of Mexico is a government in name only. The true government of most of Mexico are the cartels - those are the people we should be negotiating with.
Trump has a consistent history of endorsing GOP incumbents.
