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.

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.

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