US hasn't reached a deal with Mexico and is moving forward on tariffs, White House says

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said late Thursday afternoon that the US is still moving forward with tariffs on Mexico, following a day of continued negotiations between high-ranking US officials and their Mexican counterparts.

Sanders, in a statement, said the US "position has not changed, and we are still moving forward with tariffs at this time."

President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs are set to go into effect Monday. The White House has indicated that the US intends impose a 5% tariff on all Mexican imported goods immediately if no agreement is reached by then, with the levy rising steadily each month to a cap of 25% by October if no deal is reached.

I thoroughly believe that.

either way , the pain comes at the register.

If people aren't pissed enough to take to the streets over price increases since Obama, then they never will.

The 99 Cent Stores will have to call themselves the One Dollar Five Cent Store.

Motel 6 never changed their name, nor did Motel 8.

Agreed. I was just answering
‘deports’ question. 25% right
off the bat would be tough for
both Mexico and us. The slow
progression will allow for not
so volatile reactions. Given
time to adjust, this puts most
of the pressure on Mexico. If
Mexico allows this to go to 25%,
American farmers are going to be
kicking it into high gear as
they will be able to be more
competitive.

Screw Mexico and the Puta Politicians who support it

I saw “TARIFFYING” on Fox News so I figure “TARIFFIC” is fair game.
