Trump slaps Mexico with 5% tariffs on EVERYTHING until it solves US immigration problem

A five percent tariff on all goods coming from Mexico will go into effect on June 10, and will gradually increase up to 25 percent until the illegal immigration problem is resolved, US President Donald Trump has announced.

Invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, Trump said the US will start at five percent, but keep ratcheting up by another five percent every month, culminating with 25 percent beginning in October.

This, after the Mexican government asked Trump for $10 billion to boost their economies in response to the migrant crises.
