Trump threatens to double Mexico tariffs over migrant caravans

The levies would be effective immediately if the country does not halt the movement of caravans into the U.S., the president said.

President Donald Trump threatened to immediately double tariffs on Mexico if the country does not stop migrant caravans heading toward the United States, according to a Thursday Truth Social post.

“Huge CARAVANS are forming and beginning their illegal march through Mexico,” Trump wrote. “But they will not be accepted! MEXICO MUST STOP THEM, NOW…”

Trump did not provide further details on the potential tariff hike, including how the duty increase would be installed.
