WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump on Thursday backed away from a threat to immediately shut down the southern US border with Mexico but raised a new spectre of eventually slapping tariffs on car imports from Mexico unless it does more to stop illegal migrants and drugs.
"We're going to give them a one-year warning, and if the drugs don't stop, or largely stop, we're going to put tariffs on Mexico and products - in particular cars. The whole ballgame is cars," Trump told reporters. On Thursday, Trump said media coverage in recent days had prompted Mexico to act to curb the flow of immigrants to the United States and take other action to ease the pressure on US ports of entry."A lot of good things are happening with Mexico. Mexico understands that we're going to close the border, or I'm going to tariff the cars," he said.
