Trump Tariffs on Mexico Could Slow Cross-Border Trade to a Crawl

President at a moment when one of the world’s most strategic commercial corridors is getting busier.

Mr. Trump said last week that he would impose an additional 5% duty on all Mexican imports until Mexico gets the flow of Central American immigrants crossing the U.S. border under control. Migrant crossings are at the highest level in years.The U.S. has threatened to impose escalating tariffs on Mexican imports starting next week. WSJ's Gerald F. Seib explains why the tariffs will likely start at 5%, but may not escalate all the way to 25%.

JonahNRO Looks like Jonah was wrong about TrumpsTariffs. 😳 Nice analysis, dummy! 🙌

JonahNRO Old news lol

Yet, ignorant Trump supporters think tariffs are good, despite evidence to the contrary. You just can't fix stupid.

It's a wall of trucks. Don’t let tRump see the misrepresented walls that Mexico supposedly paid for on their own southern border. They’re the same as the walls Mexico is supposedly paying for on our southern border.

Eat more BOUDIN,it’s American made!

How many workers at manufacturing plants will be either out of work or have their hours cut back?

We support Trump.

OK fellas.... turn the trucks full of illegal immigrants around.....We can't afford the tariffs....lol

Trump is a stable genius I'm sure he's already thought of this.

F Mexico

It's going to kill us financially. The transportation industry will take a MAJOR HIT ! The taxes for truckers has gone up already 5 to 8 thousand. As the public goes to purchase we will all have to pay. So donny ideas on his dam tariff war are costing everyone. funder

More chaos than Mexico first dumping 10% of their unwanted citizens on the US and now dumping everyone who arrives at their southern border on the US?

Got to put pressure on all to fix the immigration fiasco

Hope you stocked up on avocados, tequila, Corona and Bud.

Chaos! Crisis! When did the WSJ start embracing the CNN school of yellow journalism scare headlines? Tariffs on China and Canada for some time and GDP is up, no inflation and historically low unemployment. When does Chicken Little stop telling us the sky is falling? FakeNews

That's ok!

JonahNRO Another well thought out and highly organized plan from The Dealmaker.

Tariffs are a deterrence strategy, they will work in time.

You are missing the point. Trumps tariffs are only a political toy to make him seem to be taking action. Everything about him is for show. At least my perception.

bullish

Is that why the market has rallied like it has this week? Or maybe it's the antitrust investigations on big tech, or the growing tariffs with China? No? Or how about the slowing jobs report today? fedreservetoreelecttrumpin2020 Powell Traders StockMarket

JonahNRO You’re kinda missing the point...standby.

I like cheap fruit

JonahNRO A little pain never killed anyone. We can't fold EVERY time.

If only we were so lucky

awesome
