Make America Safe Again

Post by dan_s »

Mexico’s president said this week that migrant caravans are no longer heading to the United States, as she responded to a renewed tariff threat issued by President-elect Donald Trump.

In a letter that she sent to Trump that was emailed to The Epoch Times by the Mexican Embassy in the United States on Tuesday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum wrote that “migrant caravans [will] no longer arrive at the border,” adding that Mexico has taken efforts to curb the flow of drugs such as fentanyl. She read out the letter on Tuesday following warnings issued by the president-elect.

Sheinbaum’s letter was in response to a Trump social media post that warned he would quickly implement a 25 percent tariff on Mexico if it fails to curb illegal immigration. In another, Trump wrote he would impose a 25 percent tax on all products entering the country from Canada, and an additional 10 percent tariff on goods from China if the ruling Chinese Communist Party does not move to curb fentanyl production, as one of his first executive orders.

“On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders,” he wrote on Truth Social, his platform.

He said the fresh tariffs would remain “until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!”

“Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power,” Trump wrote in the post, “and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!”
