President Donald Trump responded Tuesday to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who publicly said that the commander-in-chief was bluffing and would not impose tariffs on goods from Mexico.
“Can you imagine Cryin’ Chuck Schumer saying out loud, for all to hear, that I am bluffing with respect to putting tariffs on Mexico. What a creep,” Trump tweeted.
He added he was not bluffing on the threat.
On Tuesday, Schumer addressed the proposed Mexico tariffs on the Senate floor: “Frankly, I don’t believe that President Trump will actually go through with the tariffs. President Trump has a habit of talking tough and then retreating, because his policies often can’t be implemented or don’t make sense … so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if President Trump doesn’t follow through on these tariffs, either.”
Just a few days ago, Trump announced that if Mexico is unwilling to stop a majority of illegal immigrants from flowing through its country and passing over the United States-Mexico border, he will impose a 5 percent tariff on all goods from that country. – READ MORE
