Trump Says ' No Bluff!' on the Mexico Tariffs His Own Party Hates

  • President Donald Trump warned on Twitter that he’s not “bluffing” in his threat to impose 5% tariffs on goods from Mexico, even as opposition to the move grows among Republican lawmakers.
  • Later today, Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard is meeting officials at the White House in an attempt to find a way to appease the president.
  • Markets are betting that some progress can be made, and the Mexican peso was the world’s best-performing major currency yesterday.
  • Trump will not attend the meeting as he’s visiting a golf course in Ireland.
