Trump calls for Mexico to ‘step up’ as U.S. trade talks extended
-- Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said negotiators looking to avert Donald Trump’s threat to impose tariffs over illegal migration had made unspecified advances, but a Trump aide predicted the duties will take effect next week.
Staff-level meetings are scheduled to start at 2 p.m. at the White House, a U.S. official said. A meeting between Ebrard, Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday ended without a deal, both sides said there was progress. “If no agreement is reached, Tariffs at the 5% level will begin on Monday, with monthly increases as per schedule,” Trump tweeted Wednesday. “The higher the Tariffs go, the higher the number of companies that will move back to the USA!”
Trump isn’t only threatening Mexico trade with tariffs. He reiterated on Thursday that the U.S. is prepared to place levies on another $300 billion of imports from China if necessary and asserted that Beijing “wants to make a deal badly.”Trump said earlier in the day he thought Mexico also wants to reach an agreement. “I think they want to make a deal and they sent their top people to try to do it,” he said Wednesday in Ireland.
Story continues“The most important thing is for the Mexican government to take the asylum seekers,” Navarro said in an interview Wednesday on Bloomberg TV in Washington.
