Trump: I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States

The price of most winter fruits and vegetables will be climbing up, but it if that’s what it takes to secure the botders, I will deal with it just fine.

It's a bluff and the Mexicans and Canadian's won't bite, since this will just blow up prices for Americans overnight.

A much better idea would be for Trump to declare a National Emergency and immediately send troops to our borders.

Bullshit. To whom will they sell their fruit? They won’t. Let it rot? No. Pay the tariff and cut the price. What do you think they are making now? Much more than our farmers.
