Trump indicates at a news conference that he is likely to go ahead with tariffs on Mexico. And Mexico should “step up” to stop “invasion” to the US. At the same time he blamed Democrats for stalling Congress’ efforts to address the situation at border.
He said “We’re going to see if we can do something, but I think it’s more likely that the tariffs go on… Mexico should step up and stop this onslaught, this invasion into our country.”
Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard is “going to find common ground” with the US and hoped Wednesday’s meeting in Washington could be a starting point for negotiations.
