Trump: Mexico tariffs will 'likely' go into effect Monday despite talks

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that a tariff on all Mexican goods will likely go into effect next week, despite a summit meeting between U.S. and Mexican officials scheduled for Wednesday.

"We are going to see if we can do something, but I think it's more likely that the tariffs go on — and we will probably be talking during the time that the tariffs are on," Trump said during a press conference with U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May.

"Mexico shouldn't allow millions of people to try to enter our country and they could stop it very quickly. I think they will," Trump said. “If they won't we're going to put tariffs on.”

Top Mexican officials have been in Washington since the weekend crafting a proposal to offer the U.S. that would persuade Trump to drop his plans to slap a 5 percent tariff on all Mexican goods starting June 10.

You will soon be paying substantially more for just about everything.

I hope you like your car and that you take good care of it, because you're going to be holding onto it for a while.

Trump is nuking the American consumer with this crazy, ill-advised horseshit.

My dad has a 4Runner with 350,000 miles on it. It still runs great.

He will never get rid of that thing. It is his "hoss".

It may need a bit of undercarriage welding this time in the shop. I'm not worried, my mechanic is great. When I was younger I used it as an escort car for oversize trucking moves.

Hope you LOSE your ass over this and I hope tariffs hit 25% or MORE. I don't give a flying fuck anymore. Let Trump fuck everyone over.
