It’s just a characterization from a Trump friendly news source. Instead of “begged” the Mexican President probably just strongly urged ....

It is suppose to be @ 25% by October . . . it will be rising according to the White House release statement.

IF they do nothing. It will increase.

Wholeheartedly agree. However, when it comes to GOP/GOPe congresscritters, finding one single cajone is like searching for a unicorn. They just don’t exist!

Meanwhile, what looks like a massive roach infestation increases exponentially.

Nothing to see here. Please move along.

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

That’s NOT necessarily true:

Ex.: Mexico could devalue their currency.

This is BS. There are two solutions that WORK.
1) Build the wall, NOW.

Or

2) Use military force. We are being invaded. Use force once, this Shiite will stop!!!

Otherwise, the circle jerk continues.

Stall tactics. Just blow up the bridges in just inside our border, slice the traffic of drugs, guns, gangs, and Sex Trafficking big time. Put a couple of Abrams Tanks on our side of the Bridge entrance to block it too.

Mexico should be considered an enemy state, no less a threat than North Korea.

I’m pretty sure the new Jeep engines are made in Mexico - or, at least, major parts are. Thank God my 2016 Ribicon engine is American made.

Great, squeeze Mexico until they squeal like pigs, end any and all illegal invasion and get down on their hands and knees and beg, while promising they will never let this happen again. And if it does, IMMEDIATELY them with a FIFTY PERCENT TARIFF.

Worse than doing nothing to stop, they are incentivizing by constantly dangling amnesty.

Mexico watched Trump follow through on his threat to add tariffs to Chinese goods.

They know he is serious.

So have other nations.

And he walked out of the Infrastructure meeting with Nancy and Chuckie

Three in a row

That gets everyone's attention.

Mexicans really hate central Americans and have a good deal going right now. The moment their border jumping hits Mexico negatively you can bet they will drop the hammer on those Guatemalan dirt farmers.
