Donald Trump said he would reverse US President Joe Biden 's order clamping down on illegal border crossings, in his first campaign event since his criminal conviction.
Asked by an audience member at an event in the must-win state of Arizona what he would do to shut off the flow of people entering the US via the southern border, including migrants from China and the Middle East, the former president said he would use economic measures. "We are going to be so tough and if a country is not going to behave, we're going to tariff the hell out of that country," he added, without giving details on what size or kind of tariffs he would impose.
Mr Biden, seeking to neutralise an issue he is widely thought to be performing badly on, this week issued an executive order barring migrants who enter the US illegally from claiming asylum when numbers surge past 2,500 in a day.The curbs will remain in place until numbers fall back down below 1,500 illegal crossings a day.
