Trump Hits Mexico with Tariffs on Imports.
President Trump announced that, beginning June 10th, the US will impose a 5% tariff on all Mexican imports until Mexico cracks down on migrants trying to cross Mexico towards the United States. Mexico sent a high level delegation to Washington to negotiate with the White House. What’s the impact of these tariff threats on the economy of both countries, and on migration? What are other consequences? What are the politics behind this move?

A hit job for political gain or an accident? How to remedy the damage?
