Trump who made the revelation on tweeter said the tariffs will be in place until such time that Mexico is able to stop illegal migrants into Mexico.
He added that the tariff will gradually increase until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied.
“On June 10th, the United States will impose a 5% Tariff on all goods coming into our Country from Mexico, until such time as illegal migrants coming through Mexico, and into our Country, STOP.
“The Tariff will gradually increase until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied”, he said.
This is the latest in the strings of trade wars orchestrated by the President of the United State. Already, the United States in a face-off with China with both imposing tariffs with dire consequences on each other.
