Trump Threatens to Double Tariffs on Mexico Over Migrant Caravans After Midterms
US President Donald Trump threatened to double tariffs on Mexico if it does not stop migrant caravans traveling through its territory toward the US border. He linked this warning to a perceived increase in illegal migration following Republican losses in the recent midterm elections. Trump emphasized that migrants would not be accepted and urged Mexico to act immediately. The migrant group, estimated at around 1,500 people from Central America, began moving north from Tapachula near the Guatemala border.
